15Do you becomeH4427 a kingH4427 becauseH3588 you are competingH2734 in cedarH730? Did not your fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354 And 1doH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666? ThenH227 it was 2wellH2895 with him.16He pledH1777 the causeH1779 of the 3afflictedH6041 and needyH34; ThenH227 it was wellH2895. 4Is not that what it means to knowH1847 Me?” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.17“But your eyesH5869 and your heartH3820 Are intent onlyH3588H518 upon your own 5dishonestH1215 gainH1215, And on 6sheddingH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 And on practicingH6213 oppressionH6233 and extortionH4835.”
