⁶ “‘Look, every prince of Israel^(A) within you has used his strength to shed blood.

²⁷ “Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives in order to make profit dishonestly.

³⁷ For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; they have committed adultery with their idols. And the children they bore to me they have sacrificed in the fire^[a] as food for the idols.^(A)

⁴⁵ But righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses^(A) and those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
