² They are not fair to the poor,
    and they rob my people of their rights.
They allow people to steal from widows
    and to take from orphans what really belongs to them.
³ How will you explain the things you have done?
    What will you do when your destruction comes from far away?
Where will you run for help?
    Where will you hide your riches then?
⁴ You will have to bow down among the captives
    or fall down among the dead bodies.
But the Lord is still angry;
    his hand is still raised to strike down the people.
