⁹ Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,^(A) is near,” so that you do not show ill will^(B) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.^(C)

⁷ And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out^(A) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
