There is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have ^hexacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
ⁱand stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have ^jwithheld bread from the hungry.

and ^lthe favored man lived in it.
9 You have ^msent widows away empty,
and ⁿthe arms of ^othe fatherless were crushed.

and I caused ^sthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^tput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ^ua turban.
15 I was ^veyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.

and I searched out ^wthe cause of him whom I did not know.

and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

^acyou have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who ^adtake a bribe,
and ^aeturn aside the needy ^afin the gate.

Micah 7:2

2 ^agThe godly has perished from the earth,
and ^ahthere is no one upright among mankind;
^aithey all lie in wait for blood,
and ^ajeach hunts the other with a net.
