10  “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,

^t“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”

7  O ^qyou who turn justice to wormwood¹

and cast down righteousness to the earth!

12  For I know how many are your transgressions

and how great are your sins—

you who afflict the righteous, who ^btake a bribe,

and ^cturn aside the needy ^xin the gate.

4  Hear this, ⁱyou who trample on the needy

and bring the poor of the land to an end,
