and sell the chaff of the wheat?”

Woe to the Oppressors

1 ^jWoe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil ^kon their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and ^lseize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
