“The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people: “It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.” 「耶和華必審問他民中的長老和首領，說，吃盡葡萄園果子的就是你們，向貧窮人所奪的，都在你們家中。主萬軍之耶和華說，你們為何壓制我的百姓，搓磨貧窮人的臉呢。」（以賽亞書3：14－15）
Grind the faces of the poor into dust的意思是欺壓貧民。
以賽亞在聖經舊約是一位先知，他在世時，位于以色列南部的猶大人正遭受施政者的逼迫。上帝為猶大人伸冤，藉先知之口訓斥當時的領袖。
