| 3:2 | Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; |
| 3:3 | 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. |

| 3:8 | But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. |
