Ye who
turn judgment to
wormwood, and leave
off righteousness in the
earth,

Seek him that
maketh the seven
stars and
Orion, and
turneth the shadow of
death into the
morning, and maketh the
day dark with
night: that
calleth for the
waters of the
sea, and poureth them
out upon the
face of the
earth: The
LORD is his
name:

They
hate him that
rebuketh in the

abhor him that
speaketh uprightly.

Forasmuch therefore as your
treading is upon the
poor, and ye
take from him
burdens of
wheat: ye have
built houses of hewn
stone, but ye shall not
dwell in them; ye have
planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not
drink wine of them.

For I
know your
manifold transgressions and your
mighty sins: they
afflict the
just, they
take a
bribe, and they turn
aside the
poor in the
gate from their right.

Hate the

gracious unto the

Therefore the
LORD, the
God of

Lord, saith thus;
Wailing shall be in all
streets; and they shall
say in all the

call the

mourning, and such as are
skilful of
lamentation to
wailing.
