‘You shall not oppress ^H6231 your neighbor ^H7453, nor ^H3808 rob ^H1497 him. The wages ^H6468 of a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 are not to remain ^H3885 with you all ^H3885 night ^H3885 until ^H5704 morning ^H1242.

“You shall not exploit ^H6231 a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 who is poor ^H6041 and needy ^H34, whether ^H4480 he is one of your countrymen ^H251 or ^H176 one of your strangers ^H1616 who ^H834 are in your land ^H776 in your [fn]towns ^H8179.

He allowed ^H5117 no ^H3808 one ^H376 to oppress ^H6231 them,

And He rebuked ^H3198 kings ^H4428 for ^H5921 their sakes ^H5921, saying,

‘Is it [fn]right ^H2896 for You indeed ^H3588 to oppress ^H6231,

To reject ^H3988 the work ^H3018 of Your hands ^H3709,

And [fn]to look ^H3313 favorably ^H3313 on the plan ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563?

“If ^H2005 a river ^H5104 [fn]rages ^H6231, he is ^H2648 not alarmed ^H2648;

He is ^H982 confident ^H982, though ^H3588 the Jordan ^H3383 rushes ^H1518 to his mouth ^H6310.

[fn]May he vindicate ^H8199 the [fn]afflicted ^H6041 of the people ^H5971,

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

And crush ^H1792 the oppressor ^H6231.

The LORD ^H3068 performs ^H6213 [fn]righteous ^H6666 deeds ^H6666

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

He allowed ^H5117 no ^H3808 one ^H120 to oppress ^H6231 them,

And He [fn]rebuked ^H3198 kings ^H4428 for ^H5921 their sakes ^H5921, saying,

Ayin

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

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

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

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

The LORD ^H3068 frees ^H5425 H6605 the prisoners ^H631.

One who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 taunts ^H2778 his Maker ^H6213,

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

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

Or gives ^H5414 to the rich ^H6223, will only ^H389 come to poverty ^H4270.

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

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

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 power ^H3581 was on the side ^H3027 of their oppressors ^H6231, but they had ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to comfort ^H5162 them.

He has said ^H559, “You shall not be ^H5937 jubilant ^H5937 anymore ^H3254 H5750, you 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.”

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

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

So ^H6435 that ^H6435 My wrath ^H2534 will not ^H6435 spread ^H3318 like fire ^H784

And burn ^H1197, with no ^H369 one ^H369 to extinguish ^H3518 it,

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

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635 says ^H559:

“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 firmly ^H2388,

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

Ephraim ^H669 is oppressed ^H6231, broken ^H7533 by judgment ^H4941,

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

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

Loves ^H157 to exploit ^H6231.

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

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

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

They covet ^H2530 fields ^H7704, so they seize ^H1497 them;

And houses ^H1004, so they take ^H5375 them.

They [fn]exploit ^H6231 a man ^H1397 and his house ^H1004,

A person ^H376 and his inheritance ^H5159.

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