So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they sold the righteous one for silver, and the needy one for a pair of sandals,
because they did not listen to the voice of Jehovah their God, and transgressed His covenant, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded; yea, they did not listen and did not do them.
to turn aside the judgment of the poor ones, the afflicted one from judgment, and to take away justice of the afflicted one of My people; that widows may be their prey; that they may plunder orphans.
Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And the one selling them says, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.
