Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
