The Reason for Judgment: Sin and Oppression

8

Doubtlesse Ierusalem is fallen, and Iudah is fallen downe, because their tongue and workes are against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glory.

9

The triall of their countenance testifieth against them, yea, they declare their sinnes as Sodom, they hide them not. Wo be vnto their soules: for they haue rewarded euil vnto themselues.

10

Say ye, Surely it shalbe well with the iust: for they shall eate the fruite of their workes.

11

Woe be to the wicked, it shalbe euill with him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him.

12

Children are extortioners of my people, and women haue rule ouer them: O my people, they that leade thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13

The Lord standeth vp to pleade, yea, hee standeth to iudge the people.

14

The Lord shall enter into iudgement with the Ancients of his people and the princes thereof: for ye haue eaten vp the vineyarde: the spoyle of the poore is in your houses.

15

What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord, euen the Lord of hoasts?
