⁶ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[a]
because they sell the righteous for silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals—^(A)
7 they who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
    and push the afflicted out of the way;
father and son go in to the same young woman,
    so that my holy name is profaned;^(B)

¹² For I know how many are your transgressions
    and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe
    and push aside the needy in the gate.^(A)
