“You shall not pervert ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 [fn]due a stranger ^H1616 or [fn]an orphan ^H3490, nor ^H3808 seize ^H2254 a widow’s ^H490 garment ^H899 as ^H2254 a ^H2254 [fn]pledge ^H2254.

“When ^H3588 you reap ^H7114 your harvest ^H7105 in your field ^H7704 and forget ^H7911 a sheaf ^H6016 in the field ^H7704, you are not to go ^H7725 back ^H7725 to get ^H3947 it; it shall belong ^H1961 to the stranger ^H1616, the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and to the widow ^H490, in ^H4616 order ^H4616 that ^H4616 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 may bless ^H1288 you in all ^H3605 the work ^H4639 of your hands ^H3027.

“When ^H3588 you have finished ^H3615 paying ^H6237 all ^H3605 the tithe ^H4643 of your produce ^H8393 in the third ^H7992 year ^H8141, the year ^H8141 of the tithe ^H4643, then you shall give ^H5414 it to the Levite ^H3881, to the stranger ^H1616, to the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and to the widow ^H490, so that they may eat ^H398 in your [fn]towns ^H8179 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646.

‘Cursed ^H779 is one who distorts ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due a stranger ^H1616, an [fn]orphan ^H3490, or a widow ^H490.’ And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 shall say ^H559, ‘Amen ^H543.’

“You would even ^H637 cast ^H5307 lots for the orphans ^H3490,

And barter ^H3739 over ^H5921 your friend ^H7453.

“You have sent ^H7971 widows ^H490 away ^H7971 empty ^H7387,

And the [fn]strength ^H2220 of orphans ^H3490 has been crushed ^H1792.

“They drive ^H5090 away ^H5090 the donkeys ^H2543 of orphans ^H3490;

They seize ^H2254 the widow’s ^H490 ox ^H7794 as ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“Others snatch ^H1497 an orphan ^H3490 from the breast ^H7699,

And they seize ^H2254 it as ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254 against ^H5921 the poor ^H6041.

Because ^H3588 I saved ^H4422 the poor ^H6041 who cried ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768,

And the orphan ^H3490 who had no ^H3808 helper ^H5826.

Or have eaten ^H398 my morsel ^H6595 alone ^H905,

And the orphan ^H3490 has not [fn]shared ^H398 H4480 it

If ^H518 I have lifted ^H5130 up ^H5130 my hand ^H3027 against ^H5921 the orphan ^H3490,

Because ^H3588 I saw ^H7200 [fn]I had support ^H5833 in the gate ^H8179,

You have seen ^H7200 it, for You have looked ^H5027 at harm ^H5999 and provocation ^H3708 to [fn]take ^H5414 it into Your hand ^H3027.

The [fn]unfortunate ^H2489 commits ^H5800 himself to You;

You have been ^H1961 the helper ^H5826 of the orphan ^H3490.

To [fn]vindicate ^H8199 the orphan ^H3490 and the oppressed ^H1790,

So that mankind ^H582, which is of the earth ^H776, will no ^H1077 longer ^H3254 H5750 cause ^H6206 terror ^H6206.

A father ^H1 of the fatherless ^H3490 and a judge ^H1781 [fn]for the widows ^H490,

Is God ^H430 in His holy ^H6944 dwelling ^H4583.

Vindicate ^H8199 the weak ^H1800 and fatherless ^H3490;

Do ^H6663 justice ^H6663 to the afflicted ^H6041 and destitute ^H7326.

They kill ^H2026 the widow ^H490 and the stranger ^H1616

And murder ^H7523 the orphans ^H3490.

May his children ^H1121 be fatherless ^H3490,

And his wife ^H802 a widow ^H490.

May there be none ^H408 to [fn]extend ^H4900 kindness ^H2617 to him,

Nor ^H408 any to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to his fatherless ^H3490 children ^H3490.

The LORD ^H3068 watches ^H8104 over ^H8104 strangers ^H1616;

He [fn]supports ^H5749 the fatherless ^H3490 and the widow ^H490,

But He [fn]thwarts ^H5791 the way ^H1870 of the wicked ^H7563.

Do not move ^H5472 the ancient ^H5769 boundary ^H1366

Or go ^H935 into the fields ^H7704 of the fatherless ^H3490,

Learn ^H3925 to do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941,

Rebuke ^H833 the oppressor ^H2541,

Obtain ^H8199 justice ^H8199 for the orphan ^H3490,

Plead ^H7378 for the widow’s ^H490 case ^H490.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And chases ^H7291 after gifts ^H8021.

They do not obtain ^H8199 justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Nor ^H3808 does the widow’s ^H490 case ^H7379 come ^H935 before ^H413 them.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the Lord ^H136 does not rejoice ^H8055 over ^H8055 their young ^H970 men ^H970,

Nor ^H3808 does He have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 their [fn]orphans ^H3490 or their widows ^H490;

For every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them is godless ^H2611 and an evildoer ^H7489,

And every ^H3605 mouth ^H6310 is speaking ^H1696 foolishness ^H5039.

In spite of all ^H3605 this ^H2088, His anger ^H639 does not turn ^H7725 away ^H7725,

And His hand ^H3027 is still ^H5750 stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186.

So as to [fn]deprive ^H5186 the needy ^H1800 of justice ^H1779

And rob ^H1497 the poor ^H6041 among My people ^H5971 of their rights ^H4941,

So that widows ^H490 may be their spoil ^H7998

And that they may plunder ^H962 the [fn]orphans ^H3490.

‘They are ^H8080 fat ^H8080, they are sleek ^H6245,

They also ^H1571 [fn]excel ^H5674 in deeds ^H1697 of wickedness ^H7451;

They do not plead ^H1777 the cause ^H1779,

The cause ^H1779 of the [fn]orphan ^H3490, so that they may be ^H6743 successful ^H6743;

And they do not [fn]defend ^H8199 the rights ^H4941 of the poor ^H34.

“Leave ^H5800 your [fn]orphans ^H3490 behind ^H5800, I will keep ^H2421 them alive ^H2421;

And let your widows ^H490 trust ^H982 in Me.”

We have become ^H1961 orphans ^H3490, without ^H369 a father ^H1;

Our mothers ^H517 are like widows ^H490.

“Assyria ^H804 will not save ^H3467 us,

We will not ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483;

Nor ^H3808 will we say ^H559 again ^H5750, ‘Our god ^H430’

To the work ^H4639 of our hands ^H3027;

For in You the [fn]orphan ^H3490 finds ^H7355 mercy ^H7355.”

“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.
