Matthew(i)
6 Beholde, the rulers of Israel haue brought euery man his power, to shed bloud in the.
7 In the haue they dispysed father & mother, in the haue they oppressed the straunger, in the haue they vexed the widdowe and the fatherlesse.
8 Thou haste despysed my Sanctuarye, and vnhalowed my Sabboth.
9 Murtherers are there in the, that shede bloude, & eate vpon the hylles, and in the they vse vnhappynesse.
10 In the haue they discouered their fathers shame, in the haue they vexed wemen in their sicknesse.
11 Euery man hath dealte shamefully wyth hys neyghboures wyfe, and abhomynably defiled his doughter in law. In the hath euery man forced his owne syster, euen his fathers doughter:
12 yea gyftes haue bene receyued in the, to shede bloude. Thou haste taken vsury and encreace, thou haste oppressed thy neyghbours by extorcion, and forgotten me, sayeth the Lorde God.
13 Beholde, I haue smitten my handes vpon thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the bloude whyche hath bene shed in the.
14 Is thy herte able to endure it, or may thy handes defende them selues in the tyme that I shall brynge vpon the? Euen I the Lorde that speake it, will brynge it also to passe.
