26ForH3588 amongH4672 My peopleH5971 are wicked menH7563; they watchH7789 like fowlersH3353 lying in waitH7918; they setH5324 a trapH4889 to catchH3920 menH582.27Like cagesH3619 full ofH4392 birdsH5775, soH3651 their housesH1004 are full ofH4392 deceitH4820. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have become powerfulH1431 and richH6238.

28They have grown fatH8080 and sleekH6245,andH1571 have excelledH5674 in the deedsH1697 of the wickedH7451.They have notH3808 taken up the causeH1779H1777 of the fatherlessH3490,that they might prosperH6743;nor have theyH3808 defendedH8199the rightsH4941 of the needyH34.29Should I notH3808 punish themH6485 forH5921 these thingsH428?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.“Should I notH3808 avengeH5358 MyselfH5315on such a nationH1471 as thisH2088?
