26:6 It is trampled underfoot
by the feet of the oppressed,
by the soles of the poor.”
32:20 you will be blessed,
you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams, 1
you who let your ox and donkey graze. 2
1:6 From the soles of your feet to your head,
there is no spot that is unharmed. 3
There are only bruises, cuts,
and open wounds.
They have not been cleansed 4 or bandaged,
nor have they been treated 5 with olive oil. 6
