7 They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor;they push the destitute away.A man and his father go to the same girl;in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.
8 They stretch out on clothing seized as collateral; they do so right beside every altar!They drink wine bought with the fines they have levied;they do so right in the temple of their God!
9 For Israel’s sake I destroyed the Amorites.They were as tall as cedarsand as strong as oaks,but I destroyed the fruit on their branchesand their roots in the ground.
10 I brought you up from the land of Egypt;I led you through the wilderness for forty yearsso you could take the Amorites’ land as your own.
11 I made some of your sons prophetsand some of your young men Nazirites.Is this not true, you Israelites?”The Lord is speaking!
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine;you commanded the prophets, ‘Do not prophesy!’
13 Look! I will press you down,like a cart loaded down with grain presses down.
