Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.

How long, LORD, must I call for help and You do not listen, or cry out to You about violence and You do not save?
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_35 1:3
Why do You force me to look at injustice? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Oppression and violence are right in front of me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict escalates.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_35 1:13
[Your] eyes are too pure to look on evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate those who are treacherous? Why are You silent while one who is wicked swallows up one who is more righteous than himself?

For he oppressed and abandoned the poor; he seized a house he did not build.
20
Because his appetite is never satisfied, he does not escape his desires.
21
Nothing is left for him to consume; therefore, his prosperity will not last.
22
At the height of his success distress will come to him; the full weight of misery will crush him.
23
When he fills his stomach, God will send His burning anger against him, raining [it] down on him while he is eating.
24
If he flees from an iron weapon, [an arrow from] a bronze bow will pierce him.
25
He pulls it out of his back, the flashing tip out of his liver. Terrors come over him.
26
Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned [by human hands] will consume him; it will feed on what is left in his tent.
27
The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
28
The possessions in his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God's anger.

I will teach you about God's power. I will not conceal what the Almighty has planned.

All of you have seen [this] for yourselves, why do you keep up this empty talk?

The house he built is like a moth's [cocoon] or a booth set up by a watchman.

He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, it is gone.

Terrors overtake him like a flood; a storm wind sweeps him away at night.

An east wind picks him up, and he is gone; it carries him away from his place.

13
transgression and deception against the LORD, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.
14
Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
15
Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil is plundered. The LORD saw that there was no justice, and He was offended.
16
He saw that there was no man-- He was amazed that there was no one interceding; so His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness supported Him.

There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who [live] in you eat at the mountain [shrines]; they commit immoral acts within you.
10
Men within you have sexual intercourse with [their] father's wife, and violate women during their menstrual impurity.
11
One man within you commits an abomination with his neighbor's wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and [yet] another violates his sister, his father's daughter.

You eat the flesh of my people after you strip their skin from them and break their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a caldron."

Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe, her priests teach for payment, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, saying, "Isn't the LORD among us? No calamity will overtake us."

But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they closed their ears so they could not hear.
12
They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.

You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.

You have condemned-- you have murdered-- the righteous man; he does not resist you.

"Get dressed," the angel told him, "and put on your sandals." And he did so. "Wrap your cloak around you," he told him, "and follow me."

So he went out and followed, and he did not know that what took place through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

After they passed the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went outside and passed one street, and immediately the angel left him.
