Lamentations 3:34–36

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?

Crushing all the prisoners of the land

beneath one’s feet,

denying justice to a man

in the presence of the Most High,

or subverting a person in his lawsuit —

the Lord does not approve of these 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?

To crush under his feet

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.

To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
