Aos legisladores
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Ai daquele que edifica a sua casa com injustiça
  e os seus aposentos, sem direito!
Que se vale do serviço do seu próximo, sem paga, 
  e não lhe dá o salário;
Que diz: 'Edificarei para mim casa espaçosa e largos aposentos', 
  e lhe abre janelas e forra-a de cedros e a pinta de vermelhão.
Reinarás tu, só porque rivalizas com outro em cedro?
Mas os teus olhos e o teu coração não atentam senão 
  para a tua ganância, e para derramar o sangue inocente, 
  e para levar a efeito a violência e a extorsão.
