Yea, you throw down the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.

You have sent widows away empty, and crushed the arms of the fatherless.

They seize the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor.

because I delivered the poor who cried out, the fatherless and the one who had no one to help him.

Do not remove the ancient landmarks, and do not enter into the fields of the fatherless;

for their Redeemer is mighty; He shall plead their case against you.

They have grown fat, they gleam. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may get rich; and they do not judge the right of the needy.

In you they have made light of father and mother; in your midst they have oppressed the sojourner; in you they have mistreated the orphan and the widow.

Woe to those who devise wickedness and do evil on their beds! In the morning light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

And they covet and seize fields and houses, and carry them away. And they oppress a man and his household, even a man and his inheritance.

Both hands are on evil, to do it well. Both the ruler and the judge ask for a bribe. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; and they weave it together.
