“You shall not oppress ^H6231 a hired ^H7916 person ^H7916 who is afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34, whether ^H4480 he is one of your brothers ^H251 or ^H176 one of your sojourners ^H1616 who ^H834 is in your land ^H776 within your gates ^H8179.

He permitted ^H5117 no ^H3808 man ^H376 to oppress ^H6231 them,

And He reproved ^H3198 kings ^H4428 for ^H5921 their sakes ^H5921,

‘Is it good ^H2896 to You that ^H3588 You oppress ^H6231,

That You reject ^H3988 the labor ^H3018 of Your hands ^H3709,

And [fn]cause the counsel ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563 to shine ^H3313 forth ^H3313?

“If ^H2005 a river ^H5104 oppresses ^H6231, it is ^H2648 not alarmed ^H2648;

It is ^H982 secure ^H982, though ^H3588 the Jordan ^H3383 bursts ^H1518 forth ^H1518 to its mouth ^H6310.

[fn]May he give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to the [fn]afflicted ^H6041 of the people ^H5971,

Save ^H3467 the children ^H1121 of the needy ^H34,

And crush ^H1792 the oppressor ^H6231.

Yahweh ^H3068 performs ^H6213 righteous ^H6666 deeds ^H6666

And judgments ^H4941 for all ^H3605 who are oppressed ^H6231.

He permitted ^H5117 no ^H3808 man ^H120 to oppress ^H6231 them,

And He reproved ^H3198 kings ^H4428 for ^H5921 their sakes ^H5921:

Ayin

I have done ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6664;

Do not leave ^H5117 me to my oppressors ^H6231.

Who does ^H6213 justice ^H4941 for the oppressed ^H6231;

Who gives ^H5414 food ^H3899 to the hungry ^H7457.

Yahweh ^H3068 sets ^H5425 the prisoners ^H631 free ^H6605.

He who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 reproaches ^H2778 his Maker ^H6213,

But he who is gracious ^H2603 to the needy ^H34 honors ^H3513 Him.

He who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 to make ^H7235 [fn]more ^H7235 for himself

Or who gives ^H5414 to the rich ^H6223 will only ^H389 come to lack ^H4270.

A poor ^H7326 man ^H1397 who oppresses ^H6231 the lowly ^H1800

Is a driving ^H5502 rain ^H4306 [fn]which leaves ^H369 no ^H369 food ^H3899.

A man ^H120 oppressed ^H6231 with the bloodguilt ^H1818 of life ^H5315

Will flee ^H5127 until ^H5704 [fn]death ^H953; let no ^H408 one uphold ^H8551 him.

Then I looked ^H7200 again ^H7725 at all ^H3605 the acts ^H6217 of ^H6217 oppression ^H6217 which ^H834 were being done ^H6213 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121. And behold ^H2009, I saw the tears ^H1832 of the oppressed ^H6231 and that they had ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to comfort ^H5162 them; and on the side ^H3027 of their oppressors ^H6231 was power ^H3581, but they had ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to comfort ^H5162 them.

So He said ^H559, “You shall exult ^H5937 no ^H3808 more ^H3254 H5750, O crushed ^H6231 virgin ^H1330 daughter ^H1323 of Sidon ^H6721.

Arise ^H6965, pass ^H5674 over ^H5674 to [fn]Cyprus ^H3794; even ^H1571 there ^H8033 you will find ^H5117 no ^H3808 rest ^H5117.”

“Render ^H1777 justice ^H4941 [fn]every morning ^H1242;

And deliver ^H5337 the person who has been robbed ^H1497 from the [fn]power ^H3027 of his oppressor ^H6231,

Lest ^H6435 My wrath ^H2534 go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 like fire ^H784

And burn ^H1197 with none ^H369 to extinguish ^H3518 it,

Because ^H4480 H6440 of the evil ^H7455 of their deeds ^H4611.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“The sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 are oppressed ^H6231,

And the sons ^H1121 of Judah ^H3063 as ^H3162 well ^H3162;

And all ^H3605 who took ^H7617 them captive ^H7617 have held ^H2388 them fast ^H2388;

They have refused ^H3985 to let ^H7971 them go ^H7971.

Ephraim ^H669 is oppressed ^H6231, crushed ^H7533 in judgment ^H4941,

Because ^H3588 he was ^H2974 determined ^H2974 to [fn]walk ^H1980 after ^H310 man’s command ^H6673.

A [fn]merchant ^H3669, in whose hands ^H3027 are deceptive ^H4820 balances ^H3976,

He loves ^H157 to oppress ^H6231.

Hear ^H8085 this ^H2088 word ^H1697, you cows ^H6510 of Bashan ^H1316 who ^H834 are on the mountain ^H2022 of Samaria ^H8111,

Who oppress ^H6231 the poor ^H1800, who crush ^H7533 the needy ^H34,

Who say ^H559 to their [fn]husbands ^H113, “Bring ^H935 now, that we may drink ^H8354!”

And they covet ^H2530 fields ^H7704 and then tear ^H1497 them away,

And houses ^H1004, and take ^H5375 them away.

And they oppress ^H6231 a man ^H1397 and his house ^H1004,

A man ^H376 and his inheritance ^H5159.

“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.
