For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
They afflict the just, they take a bribe - rather, '(ye), who afflict the just, take a bribe-literally, a price with which one who has an unjust cause ransoms himself from your sentence (1 Samuel 12:3, "a bribe," margin, a ransom, Proverbs 6:35).
They turn aside the poor in the gate from their right - refuse them their right in the place of justice (Amos 2:7; Isaiah 29:21).
