5:28That is how77 they have grown fat and sleek.78
There is no limit to the evil things they do.79
They do not plead the cause of the fatherless in such a way as to win it.
They do not defend the rights of the poor.
Footnotes
- 77 These words are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to show that this line is parallel with the preceding.
- 78 The meaning of this word is uncertain. This verb occurs only here. The lexicons generally relate it to the word translated “plate” in Song 5:14 and understand it to mean “smooth, shiny” (so 799 I עֶשֶׁת) or “fat” (so II עֶשֶׁת). The word in Song 5:14 more likely means “smooth” than “plate” (so ). So “sleek” is most likely here.
- 79 Heb “they cross over/transgress with respect to matters of evil.” There is a wordplay in the use of this word which has twice been applied in v. 22 to the sea not crossing the boundary set for it by God.

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.
