Woe to Oppressors

2 Woe to those who ^(A)devise wrongdoing,
Who practice evil on their beds!
^[a]^(B)When morning comes, they do it,
Because it is in the ^(C)power of their hands.
²They ^(D)covet fields, so they ^(E)seize them;
And houses, so they take them.
They ^[b]^(F)exploit a man and his house,
A person and his inheritance.
