23 If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.
If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together; If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners:
Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate; for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.
