1 Then I said, “Listen, leaders of Jacob and officers of the nation of Israel! You should know what justice is.
2 But you hate good and love evil. You tear the skin off the people and tear the flesh off their bones.
3 You are destroying my people. You take their skin off them and break their bones. You chop their bones up like meat to put in the pot!
4 Then you will pray to the Lord, but he will not answer you. No, he will hide his face from you, because what you do is evil.”
5 Some false prophets are telling lies to the Lord’s people. This is what the Lord says about them: “These prophets are led by their stomachs. They promise peace for those who give them food, but they promise war to those who do not give them food.
