\q Oppression and violence are~right in~front~of~me.
\q Strife is ongoing, and~conflict~escalates.
\q1
\v 4 This is why the~law is~ineffective
\q and justice never~emerges.

\q1
\v 11 Then they sweep~\f + \cat (IV)\cat* \fr 1:11 \ft \+xt Is 8:8\+xt*\f* by like~the~wind

\q and you cannot tolerate~wrongdoing.
\q So why do you tolerate those who~are~treacherous?~\f + \cat (IV)\cat* \fr 1:13 \ft \+xt Jdg 9:23\+xt*\f*

\q and gather them in~their~fishing~net;
\q that is why they~are~glad and~rejoice.
\q1
\v 16 That is why they~sacrifice to~their~dragnet
\q and burn incense to~their~fishing~net,
\q for by these things their~portion is~rich
\q and their~food~plentiful.~\f + \cat (IV)\cat* \fr 1:16 \ft \+xt Dt 8:17; Is 10:13; 37:24–25\+xt*\f*
\q1
