“^(A)Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to ^(B)know justice?
² “You who hate good and love evil,
Who ^(C)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
³ Who ^(D)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones
And ^(E)chop them up as for the pot
And as meat in a kettle.”

³ Concerning evil, both hands do it ^(A)well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a ^(B)bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.
