And his heart will work (A)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (B)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Israel, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because (B)they sell the righteous for silver,
And the (C)poor for a pair of sandals.
7 They [a]pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And (D)pervert the way of the humble.
(E)A man and his father go in to the same girl,
(F)To defile My holy name.
