²¹ if I have raised my hand against ^(A)the fatherless,
    because I saw my help in ^(B)the gate,

⁹ You have ^(A)sent widows away empty,
    and ^(B)the arms of ^(C)the fatherless were crushed.

¹² because I ^(A)delivered the poor who cried for help,
    and the fatherless who had none to help him.

^3 (A)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
    ^(B)the prince and ^(C)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
    thus they weave it together.

2 ^(A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and work evil ^(B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.
² They covet fields and ^(C)seize them,
    and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
    a man and his inheritance.

^{28     (A)}they have grown fat and sleek.
They know no bounds in deeds of evil;
    ^(B)they judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper,
    and they do not defend the rights of the needy.

^10 (A)Do not move an ancient landmark
    or enter the fields of the fatherless,
¹¹ for their ^(B)Redeemer is strong;
    he will ^(C)plead their cause against you.

⁹ (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
    and they take a pledge against the poor.)
