This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

7 [fn] if oppression _of one _who_is_poor and_robbery _of justice and_righteousness you _will _see in_province do _not be _astonished on the_matter if/because a _high_one from_under a _high_one[fn][fn][fn] is_watching and_high_ones over_them.

8 [fn] and_the_profit _of a _land is_in_everything it[fn] a _king to_a _field he _has _been _served.

9 [fn] one _who_loves silver not he _will _be _satisfied silver and_whoever is_loving (in)_wealth not income also this is_futility.
