You who hate good and love evil,
Who (A)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
Who (B)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Smash their bones,
And (C)chop them up as for the pot,
And as meat in a cauldron!”

Each of them hunts the other with a (C)net.
As for evil, both hands do it (D)well.
The leader asks for a (E)bribe, also the judge,
And the great one speaks the capricious desire of his soul;
So they plot it together.
