8 The one who made the Pleiades and Orion,who turns darkness into dawn,and darkens day into night;Who summons the waters of the sea,and pours them out on the surface of the earth;
9 Who makes destruction fall suddenly upon the strongholdand brings ruin upon the fortress,the Lord is his name.
7 Woe to those who turn justice into wormwoodand cast righteousness to the ground,
10 They hate those who reprove at the gateand abhor those who speak with integrity;
11 Therefore, because you tax the destituteand exact from them levies of grain,Though you have built houses of hewn stone,you shall not live in them;Though you have planted choice vineyards,you shall not drink their wine.
12 Yes, I know how many are your crimes,how grievous your sins:Oppressing the just, accepting bribes,turning away the needy at the gate.
13 (Therefore at this time the wise are struck dumbfor it is an evil time.)
