“You shall not pervert ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 [fn]due a sojourner ^H1616 or [fn]an orphan ^H3490, nor ^H3808 take ^H2254 a widow’s ^H490 garment ^H899 in ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“When ^H3588 you reap ^H7114 your harvest ^H7105 in your field ^H7704 and have forgotten ^H7911 a sheaf ^H6016 in the field ^H7704, you shall not go ^H7725 back ^H7725 to get ^H3947 it; it shall be for the sojourner ^H1616, for the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and for the widow ^H490, in order ^H4616 that Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 may bless ^H1288 you in all ^H3605 the work ^H4639 of your hands ^H3027.

“When ^H3588 you have finished ^H3615 [fn]paying ^H6237 all ^H3605 the tithe ^H4643 of your produce ^H8393 in the third ^H7992 year ^H8141, the year ^H8141 of tithing ^H4643, then you shall give ^H5414 it to the Levite ^H3881, to the sojourner ^H1616, to the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and to the widow ^H490, that they may eat ^H398 within your gates ^H8179 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646.

‘Cursed ^H779 is he who perverts ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due a sojourner ^H1616, [fn]orphan ^H3490, and widow ^H490.’ And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 shall say ^H559, ‘Amen ^H543.’

“You would even ^H637 cast ^H5307 lots for the orphans ^H3490

And bargain ^H3739 over ^H5921 your friend ^H7453.

“You have sent ^H7971 widows ^H490 away ^H7971 empty ^H7387,

And the [fn]might ^H2220 of the orphans ^H3490 has been crushed ^H1792.

“They drive ^H5090 away ^H5090 the donkeys ^H2543 of the orphans ^H3490;

They take ^H2254 the widow’s ^H490 ox ^H7794 for ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“[fn]Others snatch ^H1497 the orphan ^H3490 from the breast ^H7699,

And against ^H5921 the afflicted ^H6041 they take ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

Because ^H3588 I provided ^H4422 escape ^H4422 for the afflicted ^H6041 who cried ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768,

And the orphan ^H3490 who had no ^H3808 helper ^H5826.

Or have eaten ^H398 my morsel ^H6595 alone ^H905,

And the orphan ^H3490 has not eaten ^H398 from ^H4480 it

If ^H518 I have waved ^H5130 my hand ^H3027 against ^H5921 the orphan ^H3490

Because ^H3588 I saw ^H7200 my help ^H5833 in the gate ^H8179,

Resh

You have seen ^H7200 it, for You have beheld ^H5027 mischief ^H5999 and vexation ^H3708 to [fn]take ^H5414 it into Your hand ^H3027.

The [fn]unfortunate ^H2489 commits ^H5800 himself to You;

You have been ^H1961 the helper ^H5826 of the orphan ^H3490.

To give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to the orphan ^H3490 and the oppressed ^H1790,

So that man ^H582 who is of the earth ^H776 will no ^H1077 longer ^H3254 H5750 cause ^H6206 terror ^H6206.

A father ^H1 of the fatherless ^H3490 and a judge ^H1781 [fn]for the widows ^H490,

Is God ^H430 in His holy ^H6944 habitation ^H4583.

Give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to the poor ^H1800 and the orphan ^H3490;

Justify ^H6663 the afflicted ^H6041 and destitute ^H7326.

They slay ^H2026 the widow ^H490 and the sojourner ^H1616

And murder ^H7523 the orphans ^H3490.

Let his sons ^H1121 be orphans ^H3490

And his wife ^H802 a widow ^H490.

Let there be none ^H408 to [fn]extend ^H4900 lovingkindness ^H2617 to him,

And ^H408 let there be none to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to his orphans ^H3490.

Yahweh ^H3068 keeps ^H8104 the sojourners ^H1616;

He [fn]helps ^H5749 up ^H5749 the orphan ^H3490 and the widow ^H490,

But He bends ^H5791 the way ^H1870 of the wicked ^H7563.

Do not move ^H5472 the ancient ^H5769 boundary ^H1366

And do not come ^H935 into the fields ^H7704 of the orphans ^H3490,

Learn ^H3925 to do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941,

Reprove ^H833 the ruthless ^H2541,

Execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Plead ^H7378 for the widow ^H490.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And pursues ^H7291 rewards ^H8021.

They do not execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Nor ^H3808 does the widow’s ^H490 plea ^H7379 come ^H935 before ^H413 them.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the Lord ^H136 is not glad ^H8055 in their choice ^H970 men ^H970,

Nor ^H3808 does He have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 their [fn]orphans ^H3490 or their widows ^H490;

For every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them is godless ^H2611 and an evildoer ^H7489,

And every ^H3605 mouth ^H6310 is speaking ^H1696 wicked ^H5039 foolishness ^H5039.

In spite of all ^H3605 this ^H2088, His anger ^H639 does not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725,

And His hand ^H3027 is still ^H5750 stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186.

So as to turn ^H5186 the poor ^H1800 away ^H5186 from their cause ^H1779

And rob ^H1497 the afflicted ^H6041 of My people ^H5971 of their justice ^H4941,

So that widows ^H490 may be their spoil ^H7998

And that they may plunder ^H962 the [fn]orphans ^H3490.

‘They are ^H8080 fat ^H8080, they are sleek ^H6245;

They also ^H1571 [fn]excel ^H5674 in deeds ^H1697 of evil ^H7451;

They do not plead ^H1777 the cause ^H1779,

The cause ^H1779 of the [fn]orphan ^H3490, that they may succeed ^H6743;

And they do not [fn]render ^H8199 justice ^H4941 for the poor ^H34.

“Leave ^H5800 your [fn]orphans ^H3490 behind ^H5800, I will keep ^H2421 them alive ^H2421;

And let your widows ^H490 trust ^H982 in Me.”

We have become ^H1961 orphans ^H3490 without ^H369 a father ^H1;

Our mothers ^H517 are like widows ^H490.

“Assyria ^H804 will not save ^H3467 us;

We will not ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Nor ^H3808 will we say ^H559 again ^H5750, ‘Our god ^H430,’

To the work ^H4639 of our hands ^H3027;

For in You the [fn]orphan ^H3490 finds ^H7355 compassion ^H7355.”

“Then I will draw ^H7126 near ^H7126 to you for judgment ^H4941; and I will be a swift ^H4116 witness ^H5707 against the sorcerers ^H3784 and against the adulterers ^H5003 and against those who swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267 and against those who oppress ^H6231 the wage ^H7916 earner ^H7916 in his wages ^H7939, the widow ^H490 and the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and those who turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 the sojourner ^H1616 and do not [fn]fear ^H3372 Me,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.
