Study Note
Isaiah's accusation that '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' identifies corruption at the highest levels of Judah's social order. The specific victims — fatherless children and widows — are the standard biblical markers of society's most vulnerable, and their neglect is treated throughout the prophets as a direct measure of covenant faithfulness (Exodus 22:22-24; Deuteronomy 10:18; Psalm 68:5). The 'companions of thieves' designation is striking because it criminalises complicity rather than only direct action — leadership that benefits from injustice without formally perpetrating it shares in its guilt. James 2:6-7 and Revelation 6:10's cry of martyrs ('how long, O Lord?') continue the prophetic tradition of naming structural injustice as a theological emergency requiring divine response.

Thy princes <FI>are<Fi> apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.
Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.
