5:7 The Israelites 1 turn justice into bitterness; 2
they throw what is fair and right 3 to the ground. 4
5:11 Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops 5
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 6 vineyards you planted. 7
5:12 Certainly 8 I am aware of 9 your many rebellious acts 10
and your numerous sins.
You 11 torment the innocent, you take bribes,
and you deny justice to 12 the needy at the city gate. 13
