7 They trample the head of the poorinto the dust of the earth,and push the oppressed out of the way.A man and his father go in to the same woman,profaning My holy name.
8 They recline by every altaron garments taken in pledge,and in the house of their godsthey drink the wine from those who have been fined.
9 Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,whose height was like the height of the cedars.He was strong as the oaks,yet I destroyed his fruit aboveand his roots below.
10 It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,and led you forty years through the wilderness,to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 I raised up some of your sons as prophets,and some of your young men as Nazirites.Is it not so, O children of Israel?says the Lord.
12 But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, “Do not prophesy.”
13 Indeed I will slow you down,as a wagon is slowed that is full of sheaves.
