Israel Is Punished

This is what the Lord says:

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