<p class="poetry">You have been the object of Israel&#8217;s hopes.p> <p class="poetry">You have saved them when they were in trouble.p> <p class="poetry">Why have you become like a resident foreigner<n id="1" /> in the land?p> <p class="poetry">Why have you become like a traveler who only stops in to spend the night?p>

Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands.<n id="1" /> Stop killing innocent people<n id="2" /> in this land. Stop paying allegiance to<n id="3" /> other gods. That will only bring about your ruin.<n id="4" />

The <sc>Lordsc> says, &#8220;Do what is just and right. Deliver those who have been robbed from those<n id="1" /> who oppress them. Do not exploit or mistreat foreigners who live in your land, children who have no fathers, or widows.<n id="2" /> Do not kill innocent people<n id="3" /> in this land.
