3 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?—
²     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,

^3 (A)Her officials within her
    are roaring lions;
her judges are ^(B)evening wolves
    that leave nothing till the morning.
