Woe to the Oppressors
2 (A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil (B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and (C)seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
Daniel 5:19-21

19 And because of the greatness that he gave him, (A)all peoples, nations, and languages (B)trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled. 20 But (C)when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, (D)he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 (E)He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (F)until he knew that the (G)Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will.
