^19 (A)Such are the ways of everyone who is ^(B)greedy for unjust gain;
    ^(C)it takes away the life of its possessors.

²⁷ Whoever is ^(A)greedy for unjust gain ^(B)troubles his own household,
    but he who hates ^(C)bribes will live.

^10 (A)who build Zion with blood
    and Jerusalem with iniquity.
^11 (B)Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
    ^(C)its priests teach for a price;
    ^(D)its prophets practice divination for money;
^(E)yet they lean on the Lord and ^(F)say,
    “Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
    ^(G)No disaster shall come upon us.”
¹² Therefore because of you
    ^(H)Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem ^(I)shall become a heap of ruins,
    and ^(J)the mountain of the house ^(K)a wooded height.

2 ^(A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and work evil ^(B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.
² They covet fields and ^(C)seize them,
    and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
    a man and his inheritance.
³ Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against ^(D)this family I am devising disaster,^[a]
    from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you ^(E)shall not walk haughtily,
    ^(F)for it will be a time of disaster.

¹⁷ But you have eyes and heart
    only for your dishonest gain,
^(A)for shedding innocent blood,
    and for practicing oppression and violence.”
