Those of you who are haters of good

and lovers of evil,

who tear their skin from them

and their flesh from their bones,

and strip their skin from them,

and break their bones,

and chop them like meat in the pot,

and like flesh in the midst of a cooking pot.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Who hate the good, and love the evil;

Who pluck off their skin from off them,

And their flesh from off their bones;

Who also eat the flesh of my people,

And flay their skin from off them;

And they break their bones,

And chop them in pieces, as for the pot,

And as flesh within the caldron.
