וְאַלְמָנָה וְיָתוֹם גֵּר וְעָנִי אַֽל־תַּעֲשֹׁקוּ וְרָעַת אִישׁ אָחִיו אַֽל־תַּחְשְׁבוּ בִּלְבַבְכֶֽם
and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
וַיְמָאֲנוּ לְהַקְשִׁיב וַיִּתְּנוּ כָתֵף סֹרָרֶת וְאָזְנֵיהֶם הִכְבִּידוּ מִשְּׁמֽוֹעַ
But they refused to attend, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
וְלִבָּם שָׂמוּ שָׁמִיר מִשְּׁמוֹעַ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה וְאֶת־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּרוּחוֹ בְּיַד הַנְּבִיאִים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים וַֽיְהִי קֶצֶף גָּדוֹל מֵאֵת יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
וַיְהִי כַאֲשֶׁר־קָרָא וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כֵּן יִקְרְאוּ וְלֹא אֶשְׁמָע אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת
And it came to pass that, as He called, and they would not hear; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts;
וְאֵסָעֲרֵם עַל כָּל־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יְדָעוּם וְהָאָרֶץ נָשַׁמָּה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם מֵֽעֹבֵר וּמִשָּׁב וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶֽרֶץ־חֶמְדָּה לְשַׁמָּֽה
but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they laid the pleasant land desolate.’
