5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
6 The words of the Lord are apure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
8 The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
