“Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.”
The condemnation of those who trample the head of the poor into the dust indicates systematic oppression of the vulnerable. The building of houses of hewn stone indicates the use of wealth gained through oppression to construct monuments to luxury.
