- 5. Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
- 6. They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
- 7. And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
- 8. Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
