8If you see
oppression of someone who is poor
and the robbery of justice and fairness in the province,
do not be surprised at the matter,
because one who is lofty protects (another) lofty one,
and there are ones who are lofty over them.
9The value for the land for all of them is this:
a king for the field that’s worked.
Lord God,
you feed us with the living bread from heaven;
you renew our faith,
increase our hope,
and strengthen our love.
Teach us to hunger
for Christ who is the true and living bread,
and to live by every word
that comes from your mouth,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
