16 For he did not remember to show kindness,*+

But he kept pursuing the oppressed,+ poor, and brokenhearted man

To put him to death.+

16 The one defrauding the poor to increase his wealth+

And the one giving gifts to the rich

Will end up in poverty.

10 Woe to those who enact harmful regulations,+

Who constantly draft oppressive decrees,

 2 To deny the legal claim of the poor,

To deprive the lowly among my people of justice,+

Making widows their spoil

And fatherless children* their plunder!+
