⁹ “Because^(A) of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty.

⁵ “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

In the place of ^[a]judgment,
Wickedness was there;
And in the place of righteousness,
^[b]Iniquity was there.

⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, ^[a]a cry for help.
