⁶ “Behold, the ^(A)princes of Israel, each according to his ^[a]power, have been in you for the purpose of shedding blood.

²⁷ Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey by shedding blood and ^(A)destroying lives in order to get ^(B)greedy gain.

³⁷ For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, ^(A)whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to ^[a]them as food.

⁴⁵ But they, righteous men, will ^(A)judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
