For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live.

For he will deliver the needy when he crieth, And the poor, that hath no helper.

How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And minister justice to the poor and needy.
