And they lay wait H693 for their own blood; H1818 they lurk H6845 privately for their own lives. H5315

So H3651 are the ways H734 of every H3605 one that is greedy H1214 of gain; H1214 which takes H3947 away the life H5315 of the owners H1167 thereof.

Blessings H1293 are on the head H7218 of the just: H6662 but violence H2555 covers H3680 the mouth H6310 of the wicked. H7563

Rob H1497 not the poor, H1800 because H3588 he is poor: H1800 neither H3808 oppress H1792 the afflicted H6041 in the gate: H8179

For the LORD H3068 will plead H7378 their cause, H7379 and spoil H6906 the soul H5315 of those that spoiled H6906 them.

His mischief H5999 shall return H7725 on his own head, H7218 and his violent H2555 dealing shall come H3381 down H3381 on his own pate. H6936

The LORD H3068 is known H3045 by the judgment H4941 which he executes: H6213 the wicked H7563 is snared H5367 in the work H6467 of his own hands. H3709 Higgaion. H1902 Selah. H5542

Your princes H8269 are rebellious, H5637 and companions H2270 of thieves: H1590 every H3605 one loves H157 gifts, H7810 and follows H7291 after rewards: H8021 they judge H8199 not the fatherless, H3490 neither H3808 does the cause H7379 of the widow H490 come H935 to them.

Therefore H3651 said H5002 the LORD, H113 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the mighty H46 One of Israel, H3478 Ah, H1945 I will ease H5162 me of my adversaries, H6862 and avenge H5358 me of my enemies: H341

Will you steal, H1589 murder, H7523 and commit H5003 adultery, H5003 and swear H7650 falsely, H8267 and burn H6999 incense H6999 to Baal, H1168 and walk H1980 after H310 other H312 gods H430 whom H834 you know H3045 not;

Is this H2088 house, H1004 which H834 is called H7121 by my name, H8034 become H1961 a den H4631 of robbers H6530 in your eyes? H5869 Behold, H2009 even H1571 I have seen H7200 it, said H5002 the LORD. H3068

Behold, H2009 therefore I have smitten H5221 my hand H3079 at H413 your dishonest H1215 gain H1214 which H834 you have made, H6213 and at H5921 your blood H1818 which H834 has been H1961 in the middle H8432 of you.

Can your heart H3820 endure, H5975 or can your hands H3027 be strong, H2388 in the days H3117 that I shall deal H6213 with you? I the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it, and will do H6213 it.

Hear H8085 this, H2063 I pray H4994 you, you heads H7218 of the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 and princes H7101 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 that abhor H8581 judgment, H4941 and pervert H6140 all H3605 equity. H3477

The heads H7218 thereof judge H8199 for reward, H7810 and the priests H3548 thereof teach H3384 for hire, H4242 and the prophets H5030 thereof divine H7080 for money: H3701 yet will they lean H8172 on the LORD, H3068 and say, H559 Is not the LORD H3068 among H7130 us? none H3808 evil H7451 can come H935 on us.

Then said H559 he to me, This H2063 is the curse H423 that goes H3318 forth H3318 over H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth: H776 for every H3605 one that steals H1589 shall be cut H5352 off as on this H2088 side according H3644 to it; and every H3605 one that swears H7650 shall be cut H5352 off as on that side according H3644 to it.

I will bring H3318 it forth, H3318 said H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and it shall enter H935 into H413 the house H1004 of the thief, H1590 and into H413 the house H1004 of him that swears H7650 falsely H8267 by my name: H8034 and it shall remain H3885 in the middle H8432 of his house, H1004 and shall consume H3615 it with the timber H6086 thereof and the stones H68 thereof.

He that follows H7291 after righteousness H6666 and mercy H2617 finds H4672 life, H2416 righteousness, H6666 and honor. H3519

As for his father, H1 because H3588 he cruelly H6233 oppressed, H6231 spoiled H1497 his brother H251 by violence, H1499 and did H6213 that which H834 is not good H2896 among H8432 his people, H5971 see, H2009 even he shall die H4191 in his iniquity. H5771

Let no G3367 man G3367 deceive G538 you with vain G2756 words: G3056 for because G1223 of these G5023 things comes G2064 the wrath G3709 of God G2316 on the children G5207 of disobedience. G543
