21:13 The one who shuts his ears
he too will cry out and will not be answered.
3:14 The Lord comes to pronounce judgment
on the leaders of his people and their officials.
He says,
You have stashed in your houses what you have stolen from the poor.
3:15 Why do you crush my people
and grind the faces of the poor?”
The sovereign Lord who commands armies
5:11 Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops
and exact a grain tax from them,
you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone,
nor will you drink the wine from the fine
5:12 Certainly
and your numerous sins.
You
and you deny justice to
8:4 Listen to this, you who trample
and do away with
8:5 You say,
“When will the new moon festival
When will the Sabbath end,
We’re eager
and to cheat the buyer with rigged scales!
8:6 We’re eager to trade silver for the poor,
a pair of sandals
We want to mix in some chaff with the grain!”
3:2 yet you
and love what is evil.
You flay my people’s skin
and rip the flesh from their bones.
3:3 You
strip off their skin,
and crush their bones.
You chop them up like flesh in a pot
like meat in a kettle.
3:4 Someday these sinners will cry to the Lord for help,
but he will not answer them.
He will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have done such wicked deeds.”
