- "Behold,¹ ye fastª° for strifeª and debate,ª and to smiteª° with the fistª of wickedness:ª ye shall not¹ fastª° as [ye do this] day,ª to make your voiceª to be heardª° on high.ª" {Isa 58:4} + "And the officersª° of the childrenª of Israel,ª which¹ Pharaoh'sª taskmastersª° had setª° over¹ them, were beaten,ª° [and] demanded,ª° Wherefore¹ have ye not¹ fulfilledª° your taskª in making brickª° both¹ yesterdayª and¹ to day,ª as heretofore?ªª" {Exd 5:14} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª For¹ threeª transgressionsª of Israel,ª and for¹ four,ª I will not¹ turn awayª° [the punishment] thereof; because¹ they soldª° the righteousª for silver,ª and the poorª for¹ a pair of shoes;ª ... That pantª° after¹ the dustª of the earthª on the headª of the poor,ª and turn asideª° the wayª of the meek:ª and a manª and his fatherª will go²° in¹ unto¹ the [same] maid,ª to¹ profaneª°¹ my holyª name:ª" {Ams 2:6-7} + "Hearª° this,¹ O ye that swallow upª° the needy,ª even to make²° the poorª°² of the landª to fail,ª° ...

Who¹ also eatª° the fleshª of my people,ª and flayª° their skinª from off¹¹ them; and they breakª° their bones,ª and chop them in pieces,ª° as¹ for the pot,ª and as fleshª withinª the caldron.ª" {Mic 3:2-3}
