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.

strip off their skin,
and break their bones.

After all the evil you have done,
he won’t even look at you!”

and the depth of your rebellions.
You oppress good people by taking bribes
and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
