That we may [b]trade wheat?
(B)Making the ephah small and the shekel large,
Falsifying the scales by (C)deceit,

And the needy for a pair of sandals—
Even sell the bad wheat?”

Though (D)you have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted [c]pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
12 For I (E)know your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
(F)Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
(G)Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
13 Therefore (H)the prudent keep silent at that time,
For it is an evil time.
14 Seek good and not evil,
That you may live;
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
(I)As you have spoken.
