If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants when they made a complaint against me,what could I do when God stands up to judge? How should I answer Him when He calls me to account?Did not the One who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same God form us both in the womb?If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it—for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow—if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing or a needy person without a cloak,if he did not bless me while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,then let my shoulder blade fall from my back, and my arm be pulled from its socket.

The wicked displace boundary markers. They steal a flock and provide pasture for it.They drive away the donkeys owned by the fatherless and take the widow’s ox as collateral.They push the needy off the road; the poor of the land are forced into hiding.Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go out to their task of foraging for food; the wilderness provides nourishment for their children.They gather their fodder in the field and glean the vineyards of the wicked.Without clothing, they spend the night naked, having no covering against the cold.Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks, shelterless.The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry sheaves but go hungry.They crush olives in their presses; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.From the city, men groan; the mortally wounded cry for help, yet God pays no attention to this crime.

Crushing all the prisoners of the land beneath one’s feet,

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who are on the hill of Samaria, women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to their husbands,“ Bring us something to drink.”The Lord God has sworn by His holiness: Look, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, every last one of you with fishhooks.You will go through breaches in the wall, each woman straight ahead, and you will be driven along toward Harmon.
