hugely obese, oily with rolls of fat.
Worse, they have no conscience.
Right and wrong mean nothing to them.
They stand for nothing, stand up for no one,
throw orphans to the wolves, exploit the poor.

they do not defend the just cause of the poor.

such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper,
and they have not defended the rights of the needy.

and deny the rights of the poor.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
They have grown fat,
they have grown sleek,
also, their evil deeds have no limit.
They do not judge with justice,
the legal cause of the orphan,
or allow it to succeed,
and the legal case of the poor,
they do not defend.

KJV 1900King James Version
They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
