But you hate good and love evil.
    You tear the skin off the people
    and tear the flesh off their bones.
You are destroying my people.[a]
    You take their skin off them and break their bones.
    You chop their bones up like meat to put in the pot!
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.”
