“You who hate good and love evil,
Who (A)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
Who (B)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones
And (C)chop them up as for the pot
And as meat in a kettle.”

Each of them hunts the other with a (C)net.

And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.
