For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate 'from their right'.
For Y knew youre grete trespassis many, and youre stronge synnes; enemyes of þe riytwis man, takynge yifte, and berynge doun pore men in þe yate.
