⁹ 主は滅びをたちまち強い者に臨ませられるので、滅びはついに城に臨む。

¹⁰ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

¹¹ Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, and take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

¹² For I know how many your offenses, and how great are your sins-- you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the courts.

¹³ Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time, for it is an evil time.
