“For three transgressions of Israel,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they ^asell the righteous ^bfor silver,

and the needy for a pair of sandals—

7  those who ^ctrample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth

and turn aside the way of the afflicted;

a man and his father go in to the same girl,

so that my holy name is profaned;

10  They hate him who ^xreproves in the gate,

and they abhor him who speaks the truth.

11  Therefore because you trample on¹ the poor

and you exact taxes of grain from him,

^yyou have built houses of hewn stone,

but you shall not dwell in them;

^zyou have planted pleasant vineyards,

but you shall not drink their wine.

12  For I know how many are your transgressions

and how great are your sins—

you who afflict the righteous, who take a ^abribe,

and turn aside the needy in the gate.

4  “Woe to those who lie on ^tbeds of ivory

and stretch themselves out on their couches,

and eat lambs from the flock

and calves from the midst of the stall,

5  who sing idle songs to the sound of the ^uharp

and ^vlike David invent for themselves instruments of music,
