23  ^eYour princes are rebels

and companions of thieves.

Everyone loves a bribe

and runs after gifts.

They do not bring justice to the fatherless,

and the widow’s cause does not come to them.

28  they have ^lgrown fat and sleek.

They know no bounds in deeds of evil;

they judge not with ^mjustice

the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,

and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
