⁴ Indeed ^(A)the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and ^(B)the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of ^[a]Sabaoth. ⁵ You have lived on the earth in pleasure and ^[b]luxury; you have ^[c]fattened your hearts ^[d]as in a day of slaughter.

^25 (A)The conspiracy of her ^[a]prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they ^(B)have devoured ^[b]people; ^(C)they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. ^26 (D)Her priests have ^[c]violated My law and ^(E)profaned My holy things; they have not ^(F)distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. ²⁷ Her ^(G)princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy ^[d]people, and to get dishonest gain. ^28 (H)Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, ^(I)seeing false visions, and divining ^(J)lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken. ²⁹ The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully ^(K)oppress the stranger.
