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.
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.
And the first-born of the poor ones shall feed; and the needy ones shall lie down in safety; and I will cause your root to die with famine; and it shall kill your remnant.
