Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,

Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate,

Don’t rob the poor just because you can, or exploit the needy in court.

Don’t rob a poor person because he is poor, and don’t crush the oppressed at the city gate,

Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor crush the needy at the gate;

Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;

Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor, and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,

Rob not the poor, because he[ is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court,

Don’t exploit the poor, because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;

“ So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts.

Do not take advantage of widows. Do not mistreat children whose fathers have died. Do not be mean to outsiders or poor people. Do not make evil plans against one another.”

You might treat poor people badly or give gifts to rich people. Trying to get rich in these ways will instead make you poor.

“ Be fair to your poor people in their court cases.

“ I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven’t let widows lose their hope.

Suppose I’ve raised my hand against children whose fathers have died. And I did it because I knew I had power in the courts.

That’s because I saved poor people who cried out for help. I saved helpless children whose fathers had died.Those who were dying gave me their blessing. I made the hearts of widows sing.I put on a godly life as if it were my clothes. Fairness was my robe and my turban.I was like eyes for those who were blind. I was like feet for those who couldn’t walk.I was like a father to needy people. I stood up for strangers in court.

Don’t move old boundary stones. Don’t try to take over the fields of children whose fathers have died.That’s because the God who guards them is strong. He will stand up for them in court against you.

The people of the land get rich by cheating others. They steal. They crush those who are poor and in need. They treat outsiders badly. They refuse to be fair to them.
