New International Version
2 “If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord(A) by deceiving a neighbor(B) about something entrusted to them or left in their care(C) or about something stolen, or if they cheat(D) their neighbor, 3 or if they find lost property and lie about it,(E) or if they swear falsely(F) about any such sin that people may commit— 4 when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return(G) what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5 or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution(H) in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.(I) 6 And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering,(J) a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.(K) 7 In this way the priest will make atonement(L) for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

they pasture flocks they have stolen.(B)

and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(C)
4 They thrust the needy(D) from the path
and force all the poor(E) of the land into hiding.(F)

the poor go about their labor(H) of foraging food;
the wasteland(I) provides food for their children.

and glean in the vineyards(K) of the wicked.(L)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(M)
8 They are drenched(N) by mountain rains
and hug(O) the rocks for lack of shelter.(P)

the infant of the poor is seized(S) for a debt.(T)

they carry the sheaves,(V) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(W) yet suffer thirst.(X)
