Israel Is Punished

This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes Israel is doing,
    I will punish them.
For silver they sell people who have done nothing wrong.
    They sell poor people for the price of a pair of sandals.
They walk on poor people
    as if they were dirt.
    They refuse to be fair to those who are suffering.
Fathers and sons have physical relations with the same woman.
    By doing this they ruin my holy name.
As they worship at their altars,
    they lie down on clothes taken from poor people.
They make people pay money as punishment.
    With that money they buy wine to drink in the house of their god.
