11 Therefore because you (A)trample on[a] the poor
    and you exact taxes of grain from him,
(B)you have built houses of hewn stone,
    but you shall not dwell in them;
(C)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
    but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who (D)take a bribe,
    and (E)turn aside the needy (F)in the gate.
13 Therefore he who is prudent will (G)keep silent in such a time,
    (H)for it is an evil time.
