The Lord should cut off their lying lips
    and cut out their bragging tongues.
Those people think they can win any argument.
They say, “We are so good with words,
    no one will be our master.”

They took advantage of the poor
    and stole what little they had.
But the Lord knows what they did, and he says,
    “I will rescue those who are poor and helpless,
    and I will punish those who hurt them.”[a]
