After ^H310 these ^H428 things ^H1697 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Abram ^H87 in a vision ^H4236, saying ^H559,

“Do not fear ^H3372, Abram ^H87,

I am a shield ^H4043 to you;

[fn]Your reward ^H7939 shall be ^H7235 very ^H3966 great ^H7235.”

Then Laban ^H3837 said ^H559 to Jacob ^H3290, “Because ^H3588 you are my relative ^H251, should you therefore serve ^H5647 me for ^H2600 nothing ^H2600? Tell ^H5046 me, what ^H4100 shall your wages ^H4909 be?”

‘You shall not oppress ^H6231 your neighbor ^H7453, nor ^H3808 rob ^H1497 him. The wages ^H6468 of a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 are not to remain ^H3885 with you all ^H3885 night ^H3885 until ^H5704 morning ^H1242.

“It shall not seem ^H7185 difficult ^H7185 for you when you set ^H7971 him [fn]free ^H2670, because ^H3588 he has given ^H5647 you six ^H8337 years ^H8141 with double ^H4932 the [fn]service ^H7939 of a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916; so the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 will bless ^H1288 you in whatever ^H3605 H834 you do ^H6213.

“You shall not exploit ^H6231 a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 who is poor ^H6041 and needy ^H34, whether ^H4480 he is one of your countrymen ^H251 or ^H176 one of your strangers ^H1616 who ^H834 are in your land ^H776 in your [fn]towns ^H8179.

“As a slave ^H5650 pants ^H7602 for the shade ^H6738,

And as a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 who eagerly ^H6960 waits ^H6960 for his wages ^H6467,

Behold ^H2009, children ^H1121 are a [fn]gift ^H5159 of the LORD ^H3068,

The fruit ^H6529 of the womb ^H990 is a reward ^H7939.

A wicked ^H7563 person ^H7563 earns ^H6213 deceptive ^H8267 wages ^H7938,

But one who sows ^H2232 righteousness ^H6666 gets a true ^H571 reward ^H7938.

[fn]Be assured ^H3027, the evil ^H7451 person ^H7451 will not go ^H5352 unpunished ^H5352,

But the [fn]descendants ^H2233 of the righteous ^H6662 will be rescued ^H4422.

A bribe ^H7810 is a [fn]charm ^H68 H2580 in the sight ^H5869 of its owner ^H1167;

Wherever ^{H413 H3605 H834} he turns ^H6437, he prospers ^H7919.

Two ^H8147 are better ^H2896 than ^H4480 one ^H259 because ^H834 they have ^H3426 a good ^H2896 return ^H7725 for their labor ^H5999;

Behold ^H2009, the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 will come ^H935 with might ^H2389,

With His arm ^H2220 ruling ^H4910 for Him.

Behold ^H2009, His compensation ^H7939 is with Him,

And His reward ^H6468 before ^H6440 Him.

Behold ^H2009, the LORD ^H3068 has proclaimed ^H8085 to the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776:

Say ^H559 to the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726, “Behold ^H2009, your salvation ^H3468 is coming ^H935;

Behold ^H2009 His reward ^H7939 is with Him, and His compensation ^H6468 before ^H6440 Him.”

“Woe ^H1945 to him who builds ^H1129 his house ^H1004 without ^H3808 righteousness ^H6664,

And his upstairs ^H5944 rooms ^H5944 without ^H3808 justice ^H4941,

Who uses ^H5647 his neighbor’s ^H7453 services ^H5647 without ^H2600 pay ^H2600

And does not give ^H5414 him his wages ^H6467,

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Restrain ^H4513 your voice ^H6963 from weeping ^H1065

And your eyes ^H5869 from tears ^H1832;

For your work ^H6468 will be rewarded ^H7939,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“And they will return ^H7725 from the land ^H776 of the enemy ^H340.

“Your wealth ^H1952, your wares ^H5801, your merchandise ^H4627,

Your seamen ^H4419 and your sailors ^H2259,

Your repairers ^H2388 of leaks ^H919, your dealers ^H6148 in merchandise ^H4627,

And all ^H3605 your men ^H376 of war ^H4421 who ^H834 are in you,

With all ^H3605 your contingent ^H6951 that is in your midst ^H8432,

Will fall ^H5307 into the heart ^H3820 of the seas ^H3220

On the day ^H3117 of your overthrow ^H4658.

‘When your merchandise ^H5801 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 from the seas ^H3220,

You satisfied ^H7646 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971;

With the abundance ^H7230 of your wealth ^H1952 and your merchandise ^H4627

You enriched ^H6238 the kings ^H4428 of the earth ^H776.

Her leaders ^H7218 pronounce ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 for a bribe ^H7810,

Her priests ^H3548 teach ^H3384 for pay ^H4242,

And her prophets ^H5030 divine ^H7080 for money ^H3701.

Yet they lean ^H8172 on the LORD ^H3068, saying ^H559,

“Is the LORD ^H3068 not in our midst ^H7130?

Catastrophe ^H7451 will not come ^H935 upon us.”

“Then I will come ^H7126 near ^H7126 to you for judgment ^H4941; and I will be a swift ^H4116 witness ^H5707 against the sorcerers ^H3784, the adulterers ^H5003, against those who swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267, those who [fn]oppress ^H6231 the wage ^H7916 earner ^H7916 in his wages ^H7939 or the widow ^H490 or the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and those who turn ^H5186 away ^H5186 the stranger ^H1616 from justice and do not [fn]fear ^H3372 Me,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635.
