2 “In case a soul sins in that he does behave unfaithfully toward Jehovah+ and does deceive+ his associate about something in his charge or a deposit in hand+ or a robbery or he does defraud his associate,+

23 Your princes are stubborn and partners with thieves.+ Every one of them is a lover of a bribe+ and a chaser after gifts.+ For a fatherless boy they do not render judgment; and even the legal case of a widow does not get admittance to them.+

26 “‘For among my people there have been found wicked men.+ They keep peering, as when birdcatchers crouch down.+ They have set a ruinous [trap].* It is men* that they catch.

9 Can there be stealing,+ murdering+ and committing adultery+ and swearing falsely+ and making sacrificial smoke to Baʹal+ and walking after other gods whom YOU had not known,+

12 O house of David,+ this is what Jehovah has said: “Every morning+ render sentence in justice,+ and deliver the one being robbed out of the hand of the defrauder,+ that my rage may not go forth just like a fire+ and actually burn and there be no one to extinguish it because of the badness of YOUR dealings.”’+

2 And they have desired fields and have seized [them];+ also houses, and have taken [them]; and they have defrauded an able-bodied man* and his household,+ a man* and his hereditary possession.+
