Pant

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
Who say to your husbands, “Bring now, that we may drink!”

Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.

They covet fields and then seize them,
And houses, and take them away.
They

rob a man and his house,

A man and his inheritance.

And there is no upright person among men.

Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing for the morning.

And turn

For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great,
You who distress the righteous and accept bribes
And turn aside the poor in the gate.

So as to deprive the needy of justice
And rob the poor of My people of their rights,
So that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the orphans.
