    but you hate good and love evil.
You skin my people alive
    and tear the flesh off their bones.
You ·eat [devour] my people’s flesh
    and skin them and break their bones;
you chop them up like meat for the pot,
    like meat in a cooking pan.
Then they will cry to the Lord,
    but he won’t answer them.
At that time he will hide his face from them,
    because what they have done is evil.”

You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
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.”

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.
