5:12
5:12
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
KJV
{For I knew your great trespasses many, and your strong sins; enemies of the rightwise man, taking a
gift, and bearing down poor men in the gate. }Wycliffe's Bible
I know your manifold transgressions - I have marked the multitude of your smaller crimes, as well as your mighty offenses. Among their greater offenses were,
Their afflicting the righteous.
Taking bribes to blind their eyes in judgment. And,
Refusing to hear the poor, who had no money to give them.
