<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013918">3</a>. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013919">4</a>. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013926">11</a>. Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013927">12</a>. Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013928">13</a>. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013929">14</a>. The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013934">19</a>. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013935">20</a>. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.</li>
