26-27 A hunter traps birdsand puts them in a cage,but some of you trap humansand make them your slaves.You are evil, and you lie and cheatto make yourselves rich.You are powerful
28 and prosperous,but you refuse to help the poorget the justice they deserve.
29 You need to be punished,and so I will take revenge.
