² To rob the needy of justice,
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.

²⁸ They have grown ^(A)fat, they are sleek;
Yes, they ^[a]surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead ^(B)the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
^(C)Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.

^10 (A)Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless,
The alien or the poor.
^(B)Let none of you plan evil in his heart
Against his brother.’
