“For three sins of Israel,
    even for four, I will not relent.^(A)
They sell the innocent for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals.^(B)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
    as on the dust of the ground
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
    and so profane my holy name.^(C)
8 They lie down beside every altar
    on garments taken in pledge.^(D)
In the house of their god
    they drink wine^(E) taken as fines.^(F)

¹¹ You levy a straw tax on the poor^(A)
    and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,^(B)
    you will not live in them;^(C)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
    you will not drink their wine.^(D)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
    and how great your sins.^(E)

There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes^(F)
    and deprive the poor^(G) of justice in the courts.^(H)
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet^(I) in such times,
    for the times are evil.^(J)

²¹ “I hate,^(A) I despise your religious festivals;^(B)
    your assemblies^(C) are a stench to me.
²² Even though you bring me burnt offerings^(D) and grain offerings,
    I will not accept them.^(E)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
    I will have no regard for them.^(F)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
    I will not listen to the music of your harps.^(G)
24 But let justice^(H) roll on like a river,
    righteousness^(I) like a never-failing stream!^(J)
