But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are gorged! And he forsook the God who had made him, and treated with contempt the Rock of his salvation.

He has covered his face with his fatness, and made his waist heavy with fat.

He dwells in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.

One dies in his full strength, being wholly secure and at ease;

his pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moist.

Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them like a garment.

Their eyes bulge with fatness; they have more than the heart could imagine.

Behold, these are the wicked, who are continually at ease; they increase in riches.

Their heart has been as fat without feeling, but I delight in Your Law.

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their husbands, Bring in, that we may drink.

Indeed the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

Why do you beautify your way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught the evil women your ways.

And she has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the lands that are all around her; for they have rejected My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you;

Yet you did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.

Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Samaria did not commit half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.

Everywhere it is heard that there is sexual perversion among you, and such sexual perversion as is not even named among the Gentiles; that a man has his father's wife.

Shall you reign, because you lust after cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.

But your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your unjust gain, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and to do violence.

He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

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

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.

He shall execute justice for the lowly of the people; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall crush in pieces the oppressor.

How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.

Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and pursues rewards. They do not judge for the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

And do not oppress the widow, or the fatherless, the alien, or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, a man against his brother.

Righteous are You, O Jehovah, when I complain to You; yet let me speak with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those who deceive with treachery at ease?

The tents of plunderers prosper, and those who provoke the Mighty God are secure, as God brings into his hand.

Behold, these are the wicked, who are continually at ease; they increase in riches.
