3 The LORD’s Name is praised from the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, His Glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, Who has His dwelling on High;
6 Who abases Himself to behold things in the heavens and on the Earth?
7 He raises the needy out of the dust, lifts up the poor out of the dung,
8 so that He may set him with the princes, even with the princes of His people.

10 “For ten acres of vines shall yield one bath. And the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.”
11 Woe to those who rise up early to follow drunkenness, and to those who continue until night. The wine inflames them.

18 Woe to those who drag iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin, as with cart ropes,
19 who say, “Let Him hurry. Let him hasten His work, so that we may see it. And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who speak good of evil, and evil of good; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for sour.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are mighty at drinking wine, and to those who are strong at mixing intoxicating drink,
23 who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous.

44 “For they all cast in out of their excess. But she, out of her poverty, cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
