Yehezkiel 22:6-7

22:6 “‘See how each of the princes of Israel living within you has used his authority to shed blood. ¹  22:7 They have treated father and mother with contempt ²  within you; they have oppressed the foreigner among you; they have wronged the orphan and the widow ³  within you.

[22:6]  ¹ tn Heb “Look! The princes of Israel, each according to his arm, were in you in order to shed blood.”

[22:7]  ² tn Heb “treated lightly, cursed.”

[22:7]  ³ tn Widows and orphans are often coupled together in the OT (Deut 14:29; 16:11, 14; 24:19-21; 26:12-13; Jer 7:6; 22:3). They represented all who were poor and vulnerable to economic exploitation.
