If there is a contention between men, and they come to judgment, and they judge them, and declare the one being righteous the righteous one, and declare the wicked one guilty;
even You hear in Heaven, and shall act, and shall judge Your servants, to declare to the one being wicked, the wicked one, to put his way on his head, and to declare the one being righteous to be a righteous one, to give him according to his righteousness.
In every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, for anything lost of which it is said that it is his, the case of both of them shall come to God. Whom God declares guilty, he shall repay double to his neighbor.
Your rulers are rebelling and are companions of thieves. Everyone loves a present, and is pursuing bribes. They do not judge the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
But He shall judge the poor ones in righteousness, and shall decide with uprightness for the humble ones of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and He shall cause the wicked one to die with the breath of His lip.
Woe to those who say to an evil thing, a good thing; and to a good thing, an evil thing; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put a bitter thing for a sweet thing, and a sweet thing for a bitter thing!
O house of David, so says Jehovah: Judge justice for the morning, and deliver the one plundered out of the hand of the one oppressing, that My fury not go out like fire and burn so that none can put it out, because of the evil of your doings.
And in a dispute, they shall stand to judge, they shall judge it by My judgments. And they shall observe My laws and My statutes in My appointed feasts, and they shall sanctify My sabbaths.
You are of purer eyes than to look upon evil, and You are not able to look upon mischief. Why do you regard those acting deceitfully? Will You be silent when the wicked one swallows the more righteous one than he?
On account of this the law has become benumbed, and judgment does not go forth with continuity. For the wicked one surrounds the righteous one; on account of this judgment goes forth, being perverted.
You shall do according to the mouth of the law which they direct you, and according to the judgment which they deliver to you. You shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, right or left.
