¹³ Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples.

² Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.

⁵ Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.

²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

²³ For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them.

¹⁰ Remove not the ancient landmark; And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

¹¹ For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against thee.

¹ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

² There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
