8 For as often as I speak, I cry out. Violence and despoiling are what I call out.+ For the word of Jehovah became for me a cause for reproach and for jeering all day long.+

11 Violence itself has risen up into a rod of wickedness.+ It is not from them, nor is it from their wealth; and it is not from their own selves, nor is there any eminency* in them.

2 And they have desired fields and have seized [them];+ also houses, and have taken [them]; and they have defrauded an able-bodied man* and his household,+ a man* and his hereditary possession.+
