Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end,

Listen to this, you who rob the poor and trample down the needy!

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

Hear this, you who trample the needy, to put an end to the humble of the land,

Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, And make the poor of the land fail,

All those who behave wickedly do not understand– those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the LORD.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords and whose molars are like knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among the human race.

Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops and exact a grain tax from them, you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone, nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.

For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the LORD; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

This is what the LORD says:“ Because Israel has committed three covenant transgressions– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They sold the innocent for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals.They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor; they push the destitute away. A man and his father go to the same girl; in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.

Therefore, listen to the LORD’s word, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem!

“ Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,” says the LORD.“ I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”

Listen to the LORD’s word, you leaders of Sodom! Pay attention to our God’s rebuke, people of Gomorrah!

Then the prophet Jeremiah told the prophet Hananiah,“ Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you! You are making these people trust in a lie!

So now listen to the LORD’s message! You say,‘ Don’t prophesy against Israel! Don’t preach against the family of Isaac!’

You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you.

“ But woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You keep locking people out of the kingdom of heaven! For you neither enter nor permit those trying to enter to go in.

Tell them:‘ Hear this, you foolish people who have no understanding, who have eyes but do not discern, who have ears but do not perceive:

Micaiah said,“ That being the case, hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, with all the heavenly assembly standing on his right and on his left.

Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me! All day long hostile enemies are tormenting me.

I know that the LORD defends the cause of the oppressed and vindicates the poor.
