¹¹ Rescue those who are led away to the death
    and those who stagger to the slaughter. If you hold back,
¹² if you say, “Look, we do not know this,”
    does not he who weighs hearts perceive it?
    And he who keeps your soul,^[a]
    he knows and will repay humankind according to his deeds.

³ A man who is poor and oppresses the impoverished
    is a beating rain that leaves^[a] no food.

²⁷ For he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking,
    but for he^[a] who turns his eyes, there are many curses.

⁸ Open your mouth for the mute,
    for the rights^[a] of all the needy.^[b]
9 Open your mouth, judge righteousness,
    and defend the poor and needy.
