NETBible

lest they drink and forget what is decreed, and remove 1  from all the poor 2  their legal rights. 3 

NET Notes

1 tn The verb means “change,” perhaps expressed in reversing decisions or removing rights.

2 tn Heb “all the children of poverty.” This expression refers to the poor by nature. Cf. KJV, NASB, NRSV “the afflicted”; NIV “oppressed.”

3 sn The word is דִּין (din, “judgment”; so KJV). In this passage it refers to the cause or the plea for justice, i.e., the “legal rights.”
