<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they sold
<04376> (8800)

the righteous
<06662>

for silver
<03701>_,

<034>

for a pair of shoes

after the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>

on the head

of the poor
<01800>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the way
<01870>

of the meek
<06035>_:

and a man
<0376>

and his father
<01>

will go
<03212> (8799)

in unto the [same] maid
<05291>_,

to profane

my holy
<06944>

name

year
<08141>_,

the year
<08141>

of release
<08059>_,

is at hand
<07126> (8804)_;

and thine eye
<05869>

be evil
<07489> (8804)

against thy poor

brother
<0251>_,

and thou givest
<05414> (8799)

him nought; and he cry

22:22

Rob
<01497> (8799)

not the poor

all the oppressions
<06217>

that are done
<06213> (8737)

under the sun

<01832>

of [such as were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)_,

and they had no comforter
<05162> (8764)_;

and justice
<06664>

in a province

than the highest
<01364>

regardeth

and [there be] higher
<01364>

than they

1:18

Come now
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us reason together
<03198> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_:

though your sins
<02399>

be as scarlet
<08144>_,

they shall be as white
<03835> (8686)

as snow
<07950>_;

and rebel
<04784> (8804)_,

ye shall be devoured

[it].

1:21

How is the faithful
<0539> (8737)

city
<07151>

become an harlot
<02181> (8802)_!

it was full
<04392>

of judgment
<04941>_;

righteousness
<06664>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

in it; but now murderers
<07523> (8764)_.

1:22

Thy silver
<03701>

is become dross
<05509>_,

thy wine
<05435>

mixed
<04107> (8803)

with water
<04325>_:

1:23

Thy princes
<08269>

[are] rebellious
<05637> (8802)_,

and companions
<02270>

of thieves
<01590>_:

every one loveth
<0157> (8802)

gifts
<07810>_,

and followeth
<07291> (8802)

after rewards
<08021>_:

neither doth the cause
<07379>

of the widow
<0490>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto them.

I will ease
<05162> (8735)

me of mine adversaries

and avenge
<05358> (8735)

me of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:

to house
<01004>_,

[that] lay
<07126> (8686)

field
<07704>

to field
<07704>_,

till [there be] no

58:6

[Is] not this the fast
<06685>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?

to loose
<06605> (8763)

the bands
<02784>

of wickedness
<07562>_,

to undo
<05425> (8687)

the heavy
<04133>

burdens
<092>_,

and to let the oppressed
<07533> (8803)

go
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>_,

and that ye break
<05423> (8762)

every yoke
<04133>_?

5:26

For among my people
<05971>

are found
<04672> (8738)

wicked
<07563>

[men]: they lay wait
<07789> (8799)_,

as he that setteth
<07918> (8800)

snares
<03353>_;

they set
<05324> (8689)

a trap
<04889>_,

they catch
<03920> (8799)

men
<0582>_.

{they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}

5:27

As a cage
<03619>

is full
<04392>

of birds
<05775>_,

so [are] their houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of deceit
<04820>_:

therefore they are become great
<01431> (8804)_,

and waxen rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{cage: or, coop}

5:28

They are waxen fat
<08080> (8804)_,

they shine
<06245> (8804)_:

yea, they overpass
<05674> (8804)

the deeds
<01697>

of the wicked
<07451>_:

they judge
<01777> (8804)

not the cause
<01779>_,

the cause of the fatherless
<03490>_,

yet they prosper
<06743> (8686)_;

and the right
<04941>

of the needy
<034>

do they not judge
<08199> (8804)_.

5:29

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

<03772> (8798)

trees
<06097>_,

and cast
<08210> (8798)

a mount
<05550>

against Jerusalem
<03389>_:

this [is] the city
<05892>

to be visited

she [is] wholly oppression

in the midst
<07130>

of her. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}

<06231> (8799)

not the stranger

and shed
<08210> (8799)

not innocent

in this place
<04725>_,

neither walk

to your hurt
<07451>_:

<08432>

of thee have they dealt
<06213> (8804)

by oppression
<06233>

with the stranger
<01616>_:

In thee have they taken
<03947> (8804)

gifts
<07810>

to shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>_;

thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)

usury
<05392>

and increase
<08636>_,

and thou hast greedily gained
<01214> (8762)

and hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me, saith

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

in the midst
<07130>

thereof [are] like wolves

ravening

the prey

<01242>

is light
<0216>_,

they practise
<06213> (8799)

it, because it is
<03426>

in the power
<0410>

of their hand
<03027>_.

2:2

And they covet
<02530> (8804)

fields
<07704>_,

and take [them] by violence
<01497> (8804)_;

and houses
<01004>_,

and take [them] away
<05375> (8804)_:

so they oppress
<06231> (8804)

a man
<01397>

and his house
<01004>_,

even a man
<0376>

and his heritage
<05159>_.

{oppress: or, defraud}

2:3

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, against this family
<04940>

do I devise
<02803> (8802)

an evil
<07451>_,

from which ye shall not remove
<04185> (8686)

your necks
<06677>_;

neither shall ye go
<03212> (8799)

haughtily
<07317>_:

for this time
<06256>

[is] evil
<07451>_.

Micah 3:1-3

3:1

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

I pray you, O heads
<07218>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and ye princes
<07101>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_;

[Is it] not for you to know
<03045> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_?

3:2

Who hate
<08130> (8802)

the good
<02896>_,

and love
<0157> (8802)

the evil
<07451>_;

who pluck off
<01497> (8802)

their skin
<05785>

from off them, and their flesh
<07607>

from off their bones
<06106>_;

3:3

Who also eat
<0398> (8804)

the flesh
<07607>

of my people
<05971>_,

and flay
<06584> (8689)

their skin
<05785>

from off them; and they break
<06476> (8765)

their bones
<06106>_,

and chop them in pieces
<06566> (8804)_,

as for the pot
<05518>_,

and as flesh
<01320>

within
<08432>

the caldron
<07037>_.

Zechariah 7:10-11

7:10

And oppress
<06231> (8799)

not the widow
<0490>_,

nor the fatherless
<03490>_,

the stranger
<01616>_,

nor the poor
<06041>_;

and let none of you imagine
<02803> (8799)

evil
<07451>

against
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

in your heart
<03824>_.

7:11

But they refused
<03985> (8762)

to hearken
<07181> (8687)_,

and pulled away
<05414> (8799) <05637> (8802)

the shoulder
<03802>_,

and stopped
<03513> (8689)

their ears
<0241>_,

that they should not hear
<08085> (8800)_.

{pulled...: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}

Malachi 3:5

3:5

And I will come near
<07126> (8804)

to you to judgment
<04941>_;

and I will be a swift
<04116> (8764)

witness
<05707>

against the sorcerers
<03784> (8764)_,

and against the adulterers
<05003> (8764)_,

and against false
<08267>

swearers
<07650> (8737)_,

and against those that oppress
<06231> (8802)

the hireling
<07916>

in [his] wages
<07939>_,

the widow
<0490>_,

and the fatherless
<03490>_,

and that turn aside
<05186> (8688)

the stranger
<01616>

[from his right], and fear
<03372> (8804)

not me, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{oppress: or, defraud}

James 5:1-6

5:1

Go to
<33> (5720)

now
<3568>_,

[ye] rich men
<4145>_,

weep
<2799> (5657)

and howl
<3649> (5723)

for
<1909>

your
<5216>

miseries
<5004>

that shall come upon
<1904> (5740)

[you].

5:2

Your
<5216>

riches
<4149>

are corrupted
<4595> (5754)_,

and
<2532>

your
<5216>

garments
<2440>

are
<1096> (5754)

motheaten
<4598>_.

5:3

Your
<5216>

gold
<5557>

and
<2532>

silver
<696>

is cankered
<2728> (5769)_;

and
<2532>

the rust
<2447>

of them
<846>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

a witness
<3142>

against
<1519>

you
<5213>_,

and
<2532>

shall eat
<5315> (5695)

your
<5216>

flesh
<4561>

as it were
<5613>

fire
<4442>_.

Ye have heaped treasure together
<2343> (5656)

for
<1722>

the last
<2078>

days
<2250>_.

5:4

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

the hire
<3408>

of the labourers
<2040>

who
<3588>

have reaped down
<270> (5660)

your
<5216>

fields
<5561>_,

which
<3588>

is of
<575>

you
<5216>

kept back by fraud
<650> (5772)_,

crieth
<2896> (5719)_:

and
<2532>

the cries
<995>

of them which have reaped
<2325> (5660)

are entered
<1525> (5754)

into
<1519>

the ears
<3775>

of the Lord
<2962>

of sabaoth
<4519>_.

{sabaoth: Heb. hosts}

5:5

Ye have lived in pleasure
<5171> (5656)

on
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_,

and
<2532>

been wanton
<4684> (5656)_;

ye have nourished
<5142> (5656)

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_,

as
<5613>

in
<1722>

a day
<2250>

of slaughter
<4967>_.

5:6

Ye have condemned
<2613> (5656)

[and] killed
<5407> (5656)

the just
<1342>_;

[and] he doth
<498> (0)

not
<3756>

resist
<498> (5731)

you
<5213>_.
