3:3 You 1 devour my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin,
and crush their bones.
You chop them up like flesh in a pot 2 –
like meat in a kettle.
3:9 Listen to this, you leaders of the family 3 of Jacob,
you rulers of the nation 4 of Israel!
You 5 hate justice
and pervert all that is right.
1 tn Heb “who.”
2 tc The MT reads “and they chop up as in a pot.” The translation assumes an emendation of כַּאֲשֶׁר (ka’asher, “as”) to כִּשְׁאֵר (kish’er, “like flesh”).
3 tn Heb “house.”
4 tn Heb “house.”
5 tn Heb “who.” A new sentence was begun here in the translation for stylistic reasons (also at the beginning of v. 10).
