Rotherham(i)
13 Alas! for him who buildeth, His house without righteousness, And his roof–chambers without justice,––Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And, recompense for his work, giveth him not.
14 Who saith––I will build me a roomy house, with spacious roof–chambers,––So he cutteth him open its windows, And it is covered in with cedar, And he painteth it with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign, because, thou, art eager to excel in cedar? Thy father, did he not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, And, then, it was well with him?
16 [Did he not] plead the cause of the oppressed and the needy, And, then, it was well? Was not, that, to know, me? Demandeth Yahweh.
17 Verily thou hast neither eyes, nor heart, save for thy plundering and for thy shedding of, innocent blood, and for oppression and for crushing, to do, them!
