if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child
when I saw that I had support in the city gate,

You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.

No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child
and negotiate a price to sell your friend.

The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;
the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.

Don’t move an ancient boundary marker,
and don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

They have become fat and sleek.
They have also excelled in evil matters.
They have not taken up cases,
such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper,
and they have not defended the rights of the needy.

Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the foreign resident is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.

Woe to those who dream up wickedness
and prepare evil plans on their beds!
At morning light they accomplish it
because the power is in their hands.

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.

General references

“You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit.
When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am Yahweh your God.”
Yes, He repeatedly turns His hand
against me all day long.
