Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

English Translation
Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves; everyone loves a bribe and pursues gifts. They do not judge the orphan, and the dispute of the widow they do not come near.
