translationNotes

  • Your princes are rebels - "Your leaders rebel against God"
  • companions of thieves - "they are friends with people who steal from others"
  • everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs - These are two different ways of saying the same thing to emphasize how wicked the leaders were. Alternate translation: "They all are happy to lie and make bad decisions if someone will pay them enough money." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet)
  • they do not defend the fatherless - "they do not protect those who do not have fathers"
  • nor does the widow's legal plea come before them - "nor do they listen when widows go to them for help" or "and they do not help widows who go to them for help"
