³ This is what the Lord says: Administer justice and righteousness.^(A) Rescue the victim of robbery from his oppressor.^(B) Don’t exploit or brutalise the resident foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow.^(C) Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.

⁵ ‘I will come to you in judgement, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the hired worker, the widow, and the fatherless; and against those who deny justice to the resident foreigner.^(A) They do not fear me,’^(B) says the Lord of Armies.
