¹⁴ Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: `And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor `is' in your houses.

⁴ Because of thy reverence Doth He reason `with' thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:

² And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

⁶ and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

³³ `Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

¹⁰ Are there yet `in' the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

² And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.

¹ Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who `are' in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: `Bring in, and we do drink.'

²⁷ As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.

⁷ Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts `Is' the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.

² Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,

³ Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.

⁴ Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

²³ For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,

⁹ They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.

² The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.

³ The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,

⁴ They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.

⁵ Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

⁶ In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.

⁷ The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
