Also turn aside the way of the humble;
And a man and his father resort to the same girl
In order to profane My holy name.
8 “On garments taken as pledges they stretch out beside every altar,
And in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.

Though his height was like the height of cedars
And he was strong as the oaks;
I even destroyed his fruit above and his root below.
