Psalms 58:1-2

God Who Judges the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to ^aDo Not Destroy. A ^bMiktam ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of David.

1 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? ^{▼▼Or you mighty lords (by revocalization; Hebrew in silence)}
Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands ^edeal out violence on earth.

Psalms 82:5-7

5 ^fThey have neither knowledge nor understanding,
^gthey walk about in darkness;
^hall the foundations of the earth are ⁱshaken.
6 ^jI said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men ^kyou shall die,
and fall like any prince.” ^{▼▼Or fall as one man, O princes}

Psalms 94:20-21

20 Can ^mwicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by ⁿstatute?
21 They ^oband together against the life of the righteous
and condemn ^pthe innocent to death. ^{▼▼Hebrew condemn innocent blood}

Ecclesiastes 5:8

The Vanity of Wealth and Honor

8 ^rIf you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, ^sdo not be amazed at the matter, ^tfor the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

Amos 4:7

7 “I also ^uwithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
^vI would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
