Isaiah 3:14

⁴Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

¹Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”

²⁷As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.

²the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder, ³the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on the LORD?

⁶But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?

²Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

⁹There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,

²They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
