4 “Everyone, be on guard against your neighbor,

And do not trust even your brother.

For every brother is a betrayer,+

And every neighbor is a slanderer.+

 5 Each one cheats his neighbor,

And no one speaks truth.

 2 But you hate what is good+ and love what is bad;+

You tear off the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.+

 3 You also eat the flesh of my people+

And strip off their skin,

Smashing their bones, crushing them to pieces,+

Like what is cooked in a pot,* like meat in a cooking pot.
