“There is no truth or mercy
Or ^(B)knowledge of God in the land.
² By swearing and lying,
Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
They break all restraint,
With bloodshed ^[b]upon bloodshed.

¹⁰ Do not remove the ancient ^[a]landmark,
Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;
^11 (A)For their Redeemer is mighty;
He will plead their cause against you.

²² Do not rob the ^(A)poor because he is poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;
^23 (B)For the Lord will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

⁵ “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
