10:2 to keep the poor from getting fair treatment,
and to deprive 1 the oppressed among my people of justice,
so they can steal what widows own,
and loot what belongs to orphans. 2
65:5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself!
Don’t get near me, for I am holier than you!’
These people are like smoke in my nostrils,
like a fire that keeps burning all day long.
