In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says lord LORD.

Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
