Micah 3:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 but you prefer to do evil
instead of what is right.
You skin my people alive.
You strip off their flesh,
3 break their bones,
cook it all in a pot,
and gulp it down.
4 Someday you will beg the Lord
to help you,
but he will turn away
because of your sins.
Micah 3:2-4
New King James Version
2 You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
3 Who also (A)eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
(B)Like flesh in the caldron.”
4 Then (C)they will cry to the Lord,
But He will not hear them;
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
Because they have been evil in their deeds.

New Vietnamese Bible
2 Thế mà các ngươi ghét điều thiện, chuộng điều ác,
Các ngươi lột da dân ta,
Lóc thịt họ ra khỏi xương,
3 Các ngươi ăn thịt dân ta,
Lột da,
Bẻ xương,
Chặt ra từng miếng như thịt nạc cho vào nồi,
Như thịt cho vào vạc.
4 Sau đó các ngươi sẽ kêu cầu CHÚA,
Nhưng Ngài sẽ không đáp lại.
Lúc ấy Ngài sẽ ẩn mặt đi,
Vì các ngươi làm điều ác.
