15     and do not rely on a dishonest sacrifice;
for the Lord is the judge,
    and with him there is no partiality.
16 He will not show partiality to the poor;
    but he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.
17 He will not ignore the supplication of the orphan,
    or the widow when she pours out her complaint.

15     Don’t present an unrighteous sacrifice,
    because the Lord is a judge,
    and he shows no partiality.
16 God will not be partial to the poor,
    but he will listen to the complaint
    of those who are wronged.
17 God will never ignore an orphan’s plea,
    nor that of a widow
    when she pours out a complaint.
