And who (A)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And (B)spread them out as for the pot
And as meat in a caldron.”
Then they will (C)cry out to Yahweh,
But He will not answer them.
Instead, He will (D)hide His face from them at that time
Because they have (E)practiced evil deeds.

Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who (F)lead my people astray;

When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They (G)call out, “Peace,”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths,
They set themselves apart for war.

who eat my people’s flesh,(A)
    strip off their skin
    and break their bones in pieces;(B)
who chop(C) them up like meat for the pan,
    like flesh for the pot?(D)

Then they will cry out to the Lord,
    but he will not answer them.(E)
At that time he will hide his face(F) from them
    because of the evil they have done.(G)

This is what the Lord says:

“As for the prophets
    who lead my people astray,(H)
they proclaim ‘peace’(I)
    if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
    who refuses to feed them.
