20:2 The king’s terrifying anger 1 is like the roar of a lion;
whoever provokes him 2 sins against himself. 3
5:11 Ephraim will be oppressed, 4 crushed 5 under judgment, 6
because he was determined to pursue worthless idols. 7
5:1 Hear this, you priests!
Pay attention, you Israelites! 8
Listen closely, 9 O king! 10
For judgment is about to overtake you! 11
For you were like a trap 12 to Mizpah, 13
like a net 14 spread out to catch Tabor. 15
5:8 If you see the extortion 16 of the poor,
or the perversion 17 of justice and fairness in the government, 18
do not be astonished by the matter.
For the high official is watched by a higher official, 19
and there are higher ones over them! 20
