* **They deprive the needy of justice, rob the poor of my people of their rights** - "They are unjust to the poor and needy among my people"
* **the needy** - "poor people"
* **plunder widows** - "take everything from the women whose husbands have died"
* **and make the fatherless their prey** - Isaiah compares orphans to animals that other animals hunt and eat. This emphasizes that orphans are powerless and judges can easily harm them.

* **prey** - See how you translated "prey" in [[en:bible:notes:isa:05:29]].
