Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end,

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

Hear this, you who trample the needy, to put an end to the humble of the land,

Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, And make the poor of the land fail,

Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

Listen to this, you who trample the needy, and do away with the destitute in the land.

Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.

They have teeth like swords and fangs like knives. They devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among humanity.

You trample the poor, stealing their grain through taxes and unfair rent. Therefore, though you build beautiful stone houses, you will never live in them. Though you plant lush vineyards, you will never drink wine from them.

For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice ungodliness and spread false teachings about the Lord. They deprive the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.

This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Israel have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They sell honorable people for silver and poor people for a pair of sandals.They trample helpless people in the dust and shove the oppressed out of the way. Both father and son sleep with the same woman, corrupting my holy name.

Therefore, listen to this message from the Lord, you scoffing rulers in Jerusalem.

The Lord replies,“ I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.”

Listen to the Lord, you leaders of“ Sodom.” Listen to the law of our God, people of“ Gomorrah.”

Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah,“ Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, but the people believe your lies.

Now then, listen to this message from the Lord:“ You say,‘ Don’t prophesy against Israel. Stop preaching against my people.’

You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you.

“ What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.

Listen, you foolish and senseless people, with eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear.

Then Micaiah continued,“ Listen to what the Lord says! I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left.

O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.

But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.
