“ So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts.

Anyone who crushes poor people makes fun of their Maker. But anyone who is kind to those in need honors God.

You might treat poor people badly or give gifts to rich people. Trying to get rich in these ways will instead make you poor.

Listen to the Lord’ s message, you women who live on the hill of Samaria. You treat poor people badly. You crush those who are in need. You say to your husbands,“ Bring us some drinks!” But you are already as fat as the cows in Bashan.

They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the ground. They refuse to be fair to those who are crushed. A father and his son have sex with the same girl. They treat my name as if it were not holy.

“ Suppose I haven’t treated any of my male and female servants fairly when they’ve brought charges against me.Then what will I do when God opposes me? What answer will I give him when he asks me to explain myself?Didn’t he who made me make my servants also? Didn’t the same God form us inside our mothers?

The poor don’t have any clothes. They go around naked. They carry bundles of grain, but they still go hungry.They work very hard as they crush olives. They stomp on grapes in winepresses, but they are still thirsty.

“‘ Suppose any of your own people become poor. And suppose they can’t take care of themselves. Then help them just as you would help an outsider or a stranger. In that way, the poor can continue to live among you.Do not charge them interest of any kind. Instead, have respect for God. Then those who have become poor can continue to live among you.If you lend them money, you must not charge them interest. And you must not sell them food for more than it cost you.I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. I did it to give you the land of Canaan. I wanted to be your God.“‘ Suppose any of your own people become poor. And suppose they sell themselves to you. Then do not make them work as slaves.You must treat them like hired workers. Or you must treat them like those living among you for a while. They must work for you until the Year of Jubilee.Then they and their children must be set free. They will go back to their own tribes. They will go back to the property their people have always owned.The Israelites are my servants. I brought them out of Egypt. So they must not be sold as slaves.Show them pity when you rule over them. Have respect for God.

Suppose any Hebrew men or women sell themselves to you. If they do, they will serve you for six years. Then in the seventh year you must let them go free.But when you set them free, don’t send them away without anything to show for all their work.Freely give them some animals from your flock. Also give them some of your grain and wine. The Lord your God has blessed you richly. Give to them as he has given to you.Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. The Lord your God set you free. That’s why I’m giving you this command today.But suppose your servant says to you,“ I don’t want to leave you.” He loves you and your family. And you are taking good care of him.Then take him to the door of your house. Poke a hole through his earlobe into the doorpost. And he will become your servant for life. Do the same with your female servant.Don’t think you are being cheated when you set your servants free. After all, they have served you for six years. The service of each of them has been worth twice as much as the service of a hired worker. And the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

They have made fun of fathers and mothers alike. They have crushed outsiders. They have treated badly the children whose fathers have died. They have done the same thing to widows.

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

Stay there, and eat and drink anything they give you. Workers are worthy of their pay. Do not move around from house to house.
