- thy dishonest:
- "Her princesª in the midstª thereof [are] like wolvesª raveningª° the prey,ª to shedª° blood,ª [and] to destroyª° souls,ª to¹ getª° dishonest gain.ª" {Ezk 22:27} + "He that by usuryª and unjust gainª increasethª° his substance,ª he shall gatherª° it for him that will pityª° the poor.ª" {Prv 28:8} + "He that walkethª° righteously,ª and speakethª° uprightly;ª he that despisethª° the gainª of oppressions,ª that shakethª° his handsª from holdingª°¹ of bribes,ª that stoppethª° his earsª from hearingª°¹ of blood,ª and shuttethª° his eyesª from seeingª°¹ evil;ª" {Isa 33:15} + "For¹ among my peopleª are foundª° wickedª [men]: they lay wait,ª° as he that settethª° snares;ª they setª° a trap,ª they catchª° men.²¹ ... As a cageª is fullª of birds,ª so¹ [are] their housesª fullª of deceit:ª therefore¹¹ they are become great,ª° and waxen rich.ª°" {Jer 5:26-27} + "Will ye steal,ª° murder,ª° and commit adultery,ª° and swearª° falsely,ª and burn incenseª° unto Baal,ª and walkª° afterª otherª godsª whom¹ ye knowª° not;¹ ... Is this¹ house,ª which¹ is calledª° by¹ my name,ª become¹ a denª of robbersª in your eyes?ª Behold,¹ even¹ I¹ have seenª° [it], saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 7:9-11} + "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 ... And they lay [themselves] downª° upon¹ clothesª laid to pledgeª° byª every¹ altar,ª and they drinkª° the wineª of the condemnedª° [in] the houseª of their god.ª" {Ams 2:6-8} + "For they knowª° not¹ to doª° right,ª saithª° the LORD,ª who store²° up¹ violenceª and robberyª in their palaces.ª" {Ams 3:10} + "Hearª° this,¹ O ye that swallow upª° the needy,ª even to make²° the poorª°² of the landª to fail,ª° ...
