9 The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid upon them.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.

If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day from adhering to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
and I, saith Jehovah, I will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
