Judgment for Social Injustice

9

10

Are there yet in the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

11

Do I reckon it pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?

12

Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13

And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.

14

Thou--thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit is in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give.

15

Thou--thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou--thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine--and thou drinkest not wine.

16

And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels, For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear!
