11 (A)Therefore, because you [a]tread down the poor
And take grain [b]taxes from him,
Though (B)you have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted [c]pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
12 For I (C)know your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
(D)Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
(E)Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.

Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:

He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And (C)shuts his eyes from seeing evil:

The fatherless and the one who had no helper.
13 The blessing of a perishing man came upon me,
And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 (B)I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 I was (C)eyes to the blind,
And I was feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor,
And (D)I searched out the case that I did not know.
17 I broke (E)the fangs of the wicked,
And plucked the victim from his teeth.

5 Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6 For you have (A)taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you (B)have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the [a]mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the [b]strength of the fatherless was crushed.
