They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone to the same young woman, to profane my holy name.
The people of the land have used oppression and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold, he is dead in his own iniquity.
That grieveth the needy and the poor: that taketh away by violence: that restoreth not the pledge: and that lifteth up his eyes to idols: that committeth abomination:
To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your masters: Bring, and we will drink.
