2:2 They confiscate the fields they desire,
and seize the houses they want. 1
They defraud people of their homes, 2
and deprive people of the land they have inherited. 3
1 tn Heb “they desire fields and rob [them], and houses and take [them] away.”
2 tn Heb “and they oppress a man and his home.”
3 tn Heb “and a man and his inheritance.” The verb עָשַׁק (’ashaq, “to oppress”; “to wrong”) does double duty in the parallel structure and is understood by ellipsis in the second line.
