至于我的百姓，统治者剥削你们，放高利贷的人管辖你们。我的百姓啊，引导你的使你走错，并毁坏你所行的道路。

难道你作王就是要盖香柏木楼房争胜的吗？你的父亲岂不是也吃也喝，也施行公平和公义吗？那时他得了福乐。他为困苦和贫穷的人伸冤，那时就得了福乐。认识我不就在此吗？这是耶和华说的。你的眼和你的心却专顾不义之财，流无辜人的血，行欺压和残暴。

我转而观看日光之下所发生的一切欺压之事。看哪，受欺压的流泪，无人安慰；欺压他们的有权势，也无人安慰。

那些与他一同长大的年轻人对他说：“这百姓对王说：‘你父亲使我们负重轭，求你给我们减轻一些。’王要对他们如此说：‘我的小指头比我父亲的腰还粗呢！

那行事公义、说话正直、憎恶欺压所得之财、摇手不受贿赂、掩耳不听流血的计谋、闭眼不看邪恶之事的，这人必居高处，他的保障是磐石的堡垒，必有粮食赐给他，饮水也不致断绝。

他照着年轻人所出的主意对他们说：“我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子惩罚你们，我却要用蝎子惩罚你们！”

在我以前的省长加重百姓的负担，向百姓索取粮食和酒，以及四十舍客勒银子，甚至他们的仆人也辖制百姓，但我因敬畏神不这样做。

“你们这些撒玛利亚山上的巴珊母牛啊，当听这话！你们欺负贫寒人，压碎贫穷人，对主人说：‘拿酒来，我们喝吧！’

你也要从百姓中选出有才能的人，敬畏神、诚实可靠、恨恶不义之财的人，派他们作千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长来管理百姓。
