That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

The verse 21 is found in chapter 29 of Isaiah. Those who attempt to hide their plans from God act as though the potter does not know the clay. Isaiah reverses the relationship between creature and Creator: human beings cannot determine what God should do. The final restoration includes the humble and poor who will again learn to sanctify the Holy One of Jacob.

welche die Leute sündigen machen durchs Predigen und stellen dem nach, der sie straft im Tor, und stürzen durch Lügen den Gerechten.
Los que hacían pecar al hombre en palabra; los que armaban lazo al que reprendía en la puerta, y torcieron lo justo en vanidad.
los que hacen culpable a un hombre por una palabra, tienden lazos al que defiende la causa en la puerta y con argumentos vacíos privan al justo de su derecho.
Ceux qui condamnaient les autres en justice, Tendaient des pièges à qui défendait sa cause à la porte, Et violaient par la fraude les droits de l'innocent.
I quali fanno peccar gli uomini in parole, e tendono lacci a chi li riprende nella porta, e traboccano il giusto in confusione.
Os que fazem culpado ao homem por uma palavra, e armam laços ao que repreende na porta, e os que sem motivo põem de parte o justo.
他們憑一句話定一個人有罪, 為在城門口斷是非的設下羅網, 又用虛無的事屈枉義人。
