Judgment Against Israel

Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Israel,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they sell the righteous for silver,
    and the poor for a pair of sandals.
They trample the head of the poor
    into the dust of the earth,
    and push the oppressed out of the way.
A man and his father go in to the same woman,
    profaning My holy name.
They recline by every altar
    on garments taken in pledge,
and in the house of their gods
    they drink the wine from those who have been fined.
