¹¹     Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.
None of them shall remain,
    not their abundance, not their wealth;
    no preeminence among them.^[a](A)

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold
    will be able to save them
    on the day of the Lord’s wrath;
in the fire of his passion
    the whole earth shall be consumed,
for a full, a terrible end
    he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.^(A)

²³ Make a chain!^[a]
For the land is full of bloody crimes;
    the city is full of violence.^(A)

⁶ Their webs cannot serve as clothing;
    they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
    and deeds of violence are in their hands.^(A)
7 Their feet run to evil,
    and they rush to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
    desolation and destruction are in their highways.^(B)
8 The way of peace they do not know,
    and there is no justice in their ways.
Their roads they have made crooked;
    no one who walks in them knows peace.^(C)

¹² Your^[a] wealthy are full of violence;
    your^[b] inhabitants speak lies
    with tongues of deceit in their mouths.

³ who eat the flesh of my people,
    flay their skin off them,
break their bones in pieces,
    and chop them up like meat^[a] in a kettle,
    like flesh in a caldron.^(A)

² They covet fields and seize them,
    houses and take them away;
they oppress householder and house,
    people and their inheritance.^(A)
