Rulers and Prophets Denounced

And I said:
(A)Hear, you heads of Jacob
    and rulers of the house of Israel!
(B)Is it not for you to know justice?—
    you (C)who hate the good and love the evil,
(D)who tear the skin from off my people[a]
    and their flesh from off their bones,
(E)who eat the flesh of my people,
    and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
    and chop them up like meat in a pot,
    like flesh in a cauldron.

(F)Then they will cry to the Lord,
    but he will not answer them;
(G)he will hide his face from them at that time,
    because they have made their deeds evil.

    with no thought of war.[a]
The women of my people you drive out
    from their delightful houses;
from their young children you take away
    my splendor forever.
10 (B)Arise and go,
    for this is no (C)place to rest,
because of (D)uncleanness that destroys
    with a grievous destruction.
