²³ Your ^(A)rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone ^(B)loves a bribe
And chases after rewards.
They ^(C)do not ^[a]defend the ^[b]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

¹⁴ The Lord ^(A)enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
“It is you who have ^(B)devoured the vineyard;
The ^(C)plunder of the poor is in your houses.
¹⁵ “What do you mean by ^(D)crushing My people
And grinding the face of the poor?”
Declares the Lord ^[a]God of hosts.
