To crush underfoot

all the prisoners of the earth,

to deny a man justice

in the presence of the Most High,

the Lord does not approve.

To crush underfoot

all prisoners in the land,

to deny people their rights

before the Most High,

to deprive them of justice—

would not the Lord see such things?

If people crush underfoot

all the prisoners of the land,

if they deprive others of their rights

in defiance of the Most High,

if they twist justice in the courts—

doesn’t the Lord see all these things?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

all the prisoners of the earth;

to deprive one of justice

before the face of the Most High;

to subvert a person in a legal dispute

—the Lord has not found delight in these things.
