Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees

2 There are those who move boundary stones;(A)
they pasture flocks they have stolen.(B)
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
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)
5 Like wild donkeys(G) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(H) of foraging food;
the wasteland(I) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(J) in the fields
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)
9 The fatherless(Q) child is snatched(R) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(S) for a debt.(T)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(U)
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)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(Y)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(Z)

Nehemiah Helps the Poor
5 Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their fellow Jews. 2 Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain.”
3 Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields,(A) our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine.”(B)
4 Still others were saying, “We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax(C) on our fields and vineyards. 5 Although we are of the same flesh and blood(D) as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery.(E) Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”(F)

1 Kings 21:2-19
New International Version
2 Ahab said to Naboth, “Let me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden, since it is close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard or, if you prefer, I will pay you whatever it is worth.”
3 But Naboth replied, “The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance(A) of my ancestors.”
4 So Ahab went home, sullen and angry(B) because Naboth the Jezreelite had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.” He lay on his bed sulking and refused(C) to eat.
5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so sullen? Why won’t you eat?”
6 He answered her, “Because I said to Naboth the Jezreelite, ‘Sell me your vineyard; or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 Jezebel his wife said, “Is this how you act as king over Israel? Get up and eat! Cheer up. I’ll get you the vineyard(D) of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 So she wrote letters(E) in Ahab’s name, placed his seal(F) on them, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city with him. 9 In those letters she wrote:
“Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10 But seat two scoundrels(G) opposite him and have them bring charges that he has cursed(H) both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death.”
11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel directed in the letters she had written to them. 12 They proclaimed a fast(I) and seated Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 13 Then two scoundrels came and sat opposite him and brought charges against Naboth before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king.” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.(J) 14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard(K) of Naboth the Jezreelite that he refused to sell you. He is no longer alive, but dead.” 16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of Naboth’s vineyard.
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 18 “Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. 19 Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?’(L) Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood,(M) dogs(N) will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”

3 Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the Lord and his anointed.(A) Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey(B) have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe(C) to make me shut my eyes? If I have done(D) any of these things, I will make it right.”(E)
4 “You have not cheated or oppressed us,” they replied. “You have not taken anything from anyone’s hand.”

Habakkuk 2:5-9
New International Version
5 indeed, wine(A) betrays him;
he is arrogant(B) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,(C)
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive(D) all the peoples.
6 “Will not all of them taunt(E) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(F)
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.(G)
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.(H)
For you have shed human blood;(I)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.(J)
