1 And I said:Hear, you leaders of Jacob,rulers of the house of Israel!Is it not your duty to know what is right,
2 you who hate what is good, and love evil?You who tear their skin from them,and their flesh from their bones;
3 Who eat the flesh of my people,flay their skin from them,and break their bones;Who chop them in pieces like flesh in a kettle,like meat in a pot.
4 When they cry to the Lord,he will not answer them;He will hide his face from them at that time,because of the evil they have done.
5 Thus says the Lord regarding the prophets:O you who lead my people astray,When your teeth have something to biteyou announce peace,But proclaim war against the onewho fails to put something in your mouth.
