15 Do not trust in sacrifice of the fruits of extortion,(A)
For he is a God of justice,
who shows no partiality.(B)

but hears the grievance of the oppressed.[a]

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.
