God Judges Israel

The Lord says, “For three sins of Israel and for four, I will not hold back punishment. They sell those who are right and good for money. To get shoes, they sell people who are in need. They crush those who are poor in the dust of the earth with their feet. They push the poor out of the way. A man and his father go to the same girl and sin against My holy name. They lie down beside every altar on clothing taken as trust for promises. And in the house of their God they drink the wine which was paid by those who have done wrong.

Judgment on Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Israel,
    even for four, I will not relent.(A)
They sell the innocent for silver,
    and the needy for a pair of sandals.(B)
They trample on the heads of the poor
    as on the dust of the ground
    and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
    and so profane my holy name.(C)
They lie down beside every altar
    on garments taken in pledge.(D)
In the house of their god
    they drink wine(E) taken as fines.(F)
