In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

Violence, contempt for parents, abuse of foreigners, economic exploitation, and sexual immorality appear together. The chapter demonstrates that religious crisis is connected with concrete social injustices.

Vater und Mutter verachten sie, den Fremdlingen tun sie Gewalt und Unrecht, die Witwen und die Waisen schinden sie.
Al padre y a la madre despreciaron en ti: al extranjero trataron con calumnia en medio de ti: al huérfano y a la viuda despojaron en ti.
En ti despreciaron al padre y a la madre; en medio de ti extorsionaron al extranjero; en ti oprimieron al huérfano y a la viuda.
au dedans de toi, l'on méprise père et mère, on maltraite l'étranger, on opprime l'orphelin et la veuve.
Si è sprezzato in te padre, e madre; si è usata storsione contra il forestiere in mezzo di te; si è oppressato in te l’orfano, e la vedova.
Ao pai e à mãe desprezaram em ti; para com o estrangeiro usaram de opressão no meio de ti; ao órfão e à viúva oprimiram em ti.
你那裏有輕慢父母的,在你當中有欺壓寄居者的,你那裏也有虧負孤兒寡婦的。
