But you have disrespected poor people. Aren’t rich people taking advantage of you? Aren’t they dragging you into court?

你们反倒羞辱贫穷人。那富足人岂不是欺压你们、拉你们到公堂去吗？

你们却羞辱贫穷的人。欺压你们，拉你们到公堂去的，不就是这些富有的人吗？

你们却羞辱贫穷的人。欺压你们，拉你们到公堂去的，不就是这些富有的人吗？

何以爾反辱貧者乎、富者非挾制爾、拘曳爾、以至公庭乎、

爾竟辱貧人、富者非欺壓爾、曳爾至公庭乎、

But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?

But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?

But you dishonor the poor! Isn’t it the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?

Yet you have dishonored the poor. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into court?

But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment- seats?

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich oppressing you and dragging you into the courts?

But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?

Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? You are shaming those in the church who have nothing. Do you think so little of God’s church that you do this? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about the Lord’s Supper!

But they couldn’t find them. So they dragged Jason and some other believers to the city officials.“ These men have caused trouble all over the world,” they shouted.“ Now they have come here.

You who do evil keep poor people from succeeding. But the Lord is their place of safety.

But the Jewish leaders stirred up the important women who worshiped God. They also stirred up the men who were leaders in the city. The Jewish leaders tried to get the women and men to attack Paul and Barnabas. They threw Paul and Barnabas out of that area.

At that time Gallio was governor of Achaia. The Jews of Corinth got together and attacked Paul. They brought him into court.

You have judged and murdered people who aren’t guilty. And they weren’t even opposing you.

But Saul began to destroy the church. He went from house to house. He dragged away men and women and put them in prison.

Anyone who crushes poor people makes fun of their Maker. But anyone who is kind to those in need honors God.

Anyone who laughs at those who are poor makes fun of their Maker. Anyone who is happy when others suffer will be punished.

The Lord says,“ The poor are being robbed. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them.”

You make poor people pay tax on their straw. You also tax their grain. So, even though you have built stone houses, you won’t live in them. You have planted fruitful vineyards. But you won’t drink the wine they produce.

God, you see the problems of people in trouble. You take note of their pain. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.

The kings of the earth rise up. The rulers of the earth gather together against the Lord and against his anointed king.’( Psalm 2:1, 2)In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.They did what your power and purpose had already decided should happen.

You might treat poor people badly or give gifts to rich people. Trying to get rich in these ways will instead make you poor.

Would you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes? Would you say,“ Here’s a good seat for you”? Would you say to the poor man,“ You stand there”? Or“ Sit on the floor by my feet”?

He judges the elders and leaders of his people. He says to them,“ My people are like a vineyard. You have destroyed them. The things you have taken from poor people are in your houses.What do you mean by crushing my people? Why are you grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?” announces the Lord. He is the Lord who rules over all.

You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.

Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.

Listen to the Lord’ s message, you women who live on the hill of Samaria. You treat poor people badly. You crush those who are in need. You say to your husbands,“ Bring us some drinks!” But you are already as fat as the cows in Bashan.

A certain man lived in that city. He was poor but wise. He used his wisdom to save the city. But no one remembered that poor man.So I said,“ It’s better to be wise than to be powerful.” But people look down on the poor man’s wisdom. No one pays any attention to what he says.

The Lord says,“ The people of Israel have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They sell into slavery those who have done no wrong. They trade needy people for a mere pair of sandals.They grind the heads of the poor into the dust of the ground. They refuse to be fair to those who are crushed. A father and his son have sex with the same girl. They treat my name as if it were not holy.

Should I forgive anyone who uses dishonest scales? They use weights that weigh things heavier or lighter than they really are.The rich people among you harm others. You are always telling lies. You try to fool others by what you say.

Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.

Suppose you see poor people being mistreated somewhere. And what is being done to them isn’t right or fair. Don’t be surprised by that. One official is watched by a higher one. Officials who are even higher are watching both of them.

People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.

So the elders and nobles who lived in that city did what Jezebel wanted. They did everything she directed in the letters she had written to them.They announced a day of fasting. They had Naboth sit in an important place among the people.Then two worthless and evil men came and sat across from him. They brought charges against Naboth in front of the people. The two men said,“ Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the city. They killed him by throwing stones at him.

An evil person is proud and hunts down those who are weak. He catches weak people by making clever plans.

Listen to me, you who walk all over needy people. You crush those who are poor in the land.You say,“ When will the New Moon feast be over? Then we can sell our grain. When will the Sabbath day come to an end? Then people can buy our wheat.” But you measure out less than the right amount. You raise your prices. You cheat others by using dishonest scales.You buy poor people to make slaves out of them. You buy those who are in need for a mere pair of sandals. You even sell the worthless parts of your wheat.

So the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles back. But they didn’t use force. They were afraid the people would kill them by throwing stones at them.They brought the apostles to the Sanhedrin. The high priest questioned them.

Peter and John were speaking to the people. The priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to the apostles.They were very upset by what the apostles were teaching the people. The apostles were saying that people can be raised from the dead. They said this can happen because Jesus rose from the dead.So the temple authorities arrested Peter and John. It was already evening, so they put them in prison until the next day.

They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing. They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.

“ I am not controlled by a demon,” said Jesus.“ I honor my Father. You do not honor me.
