¹⁷ Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke ^[a]the oppressor;
^[b]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

^23 (A)Your princes are rebellious,
And ^(B)companions of thieves;
^(C)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They ^(D)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
