They covet fields, and seize them; And houses, and take them away: And they oppress a man and his house, Even a man and his heritage.

those who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation."
