16 So the poor have hope,

and injustice shuts its mouth.

16 So the poor have hope,

and injustice shuts her mouth.

16 So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

16 And so at last the poor have hope,

and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.

16 So the poor have hope,

And injustice shuts her mouth.

16 So the poor have hope,

while those who are unfair are silenced.

16 So the poor hath hope,

And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

16 So the poor hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth.

16 Then the poor have hope 

while wrongdoing shuts its mouth. 

16 So the poor have hope,

and injustice shuts its mouth.

16 So the poor have hope,

and injustice shuts its mouth.

16 So there is hope for the powerless,

and wickedness shuts its mouth.

16 So those who are poor have hope.

And God shuts the mouths of people who don’t treat others fairly.
