10 And MAKE two men,+ good-for-nothing+ fellows,* sit in front of him, and let them bear witness against him,+ saying, ‘You have cursed* God and the king!’+ And BRING him out and stone him that he may die.”+

16 And I have further seen under the sun the place of justice where there was wickedness and the place of righteousness where wickedness was.+

12 For I have known how many YOUR revolts+ are and how mighty YOUR sins are,+ O YOU who are showing hostility toward someone righteous,+ YOU who are taking hush money,*+ and the ones who have turned aside poor people+ even in the gate.+

4 Therefore law grows numb, and justice never goes forth.+ Because the wicked one is surrounding the righteous one, for that reason justice goes forth crooked.+
