Judgment against Israel’s Leaders
3 I said, “Listen, you leaders of Israel!
You are supposed to know right from wrong,
2 but you are the very ones
who hate good and love evil.
You skin my people alive
and tear the flesh from their bones.
3 Yes, you eat my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin,
and break their bones.
You chop them up
like meat for the cooking pot.

“Listen, you leaders(A) of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,

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

Isaiah 65:21-22
New Living Translation
21 In those days people will live in the houses they build
and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.
22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses
and confiscate their vineyards.
For my people will live as long as trees,
and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.

21 They will build houses(A) and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(B)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(C)

For as the days of a tree,(D)
so will be the days(E) of my people;
my chosen(F) ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
Isaiah 59:13-14

We have turned our backs on our God.

and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets,
and honesty has been outlawed.
