7They trample helpless people in the dust

and shove the oppressed out of the way.

Both father and son sleep with the same woman,

corrupting my holy name.

8At their religious festivals,

they lounge in clothing their debtors put up as security.

In the house of their gods,

they drink wine bought with unjust fines.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth

and turn aside the way of the afflicted;

a man and his father go in to the same girl,

so that my holy name is profaned;

they lay themselves down beside every altar

on garments taken in pledge,

and in the house of their God they drink

the wine of those who have been fined.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They trample on the heads of the poor

as on the dust of the ground

and deny justice to the oppressed.

Father and son use the same girl

and so profane my holy name.

They lie down beside every altar

on garments taken in pledge.

In the house of their god

they drink wine taken as fines.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They trample the heads of the poor

on the dust of the ground

and obstruct the path of the needy.

A man and his father have sexual relations

with the same girl,

profaning my holy name.

They stretch out beside every altar

on garments taken as collateral,

and in the house of their God

they drink wine obtained through fines.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Those who trample the heads of the powerless into the dust of the ground and turn aside the way of the destitute, a man and his father have sexual relations with the same girl, so that they profane my holy name. They stretch themselves out beside every altar on clothing taken in pledge and they drink wine, bought with fines imposed, in the house of their God.

KJV 1900King James Version

That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,

And turn aside the way of the meek:

And a man and his father will go in unto the same maid,

To profane my holy name:

And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar,

And they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
