Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange to your friend.

Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.

They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.

For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.

Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the fatherless enter not,

For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause with thee.

They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless -- and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.

Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they oppressed in thee.

Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is -- to God.

And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.

On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is asking -- also the judge -- for recompence, And the great -- he is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up.
