- And I said, "Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel Is it not for you to know justice?
- "You who hate good and love evil, Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,
- Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."
- Then they will cry out to the LORD, But He will not answer them Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.
- Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, "Peace," But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.

- Then I said, "Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice,
- you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;
- who eat my people's flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?"
- Then they will cry out to the LORD, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.
- This is what the LORD says: "As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim 'peace'; if he does not, they prepare to wage war against him.
