² You who hate good and love evil,
Who ^(A)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
³ And who ^(B)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And ^(C)spread them out as for the pot
And as meat in a caldron.”

² The ^[a]holy one has ^(A)perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among men.
All of them lie in wait for ^(B)bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a ^(C)net.
³ Concerning evil, both hands do it ^(D)well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a ^(E)payment,
And a great man speaks the craving of his soul;
So they weave it together.
