(Some words not found in UHB: all,them turned_away together corrupt not does good not also/yet one(ms) )

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread
(Some words not found in UHB: all,them turned_away together corrupt not does good not also/yet one(ms) )
