He brings destruction[a] on the strong,[b](A)
and it falls on the stronghold.(B)

10 They hate the one who convicts the guilty(C)
at the city gate
and despise(D) the one who speaks with integrity.
11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor(E)
and exact a grain tax from him,
you will never live in the houses of cut stone(F)
you have built;
you will never drink the wine
from the lush vineyards
you have planted.(G)
