Isaiah 3:14

Context

3:14 The Lord comes to pronounce judgment

on the leaders of his people and their officials.

You have stashed in your houses what you have stolen from the poor. 5 

Isaiah 10:2

Context

10:2 to keep the poor from getting fair treatment,

and to deprive 6  the oppressed among my people of justice,

so they can steal what widows own,

and loot what belongs to orphans. 7 

1 tn The words “he says” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn The pronominal element is masculine plural; the leaders are addressed.
