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!+

12 For I know how many your revolts* are

And how great your sins are

—You harass the righteous,

You take bribes,*

And you deny the rights of the poor in the city gate.+
