11 aTherefore, because you1 tread down the poor
And take grain1 taxes from him,
Though byou have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted1 pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
And take grain1 taxes from him,
Though byou have built houses of hewn stone,
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
You have planted1 pleasant vineyards,
But you shall not drink wine from them.
12 For I aknow your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
bAfflicting the just and taking bribes;
cDiverting the poor from justice at the gate.
