In context

⁷There are those who turn justice into wormwood and cast righteousness to the ground.

⁸He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth— the LORD is His name—

⁹He flashes destruction on the strong, so that fury comes upon the stronghold.

¹⁰There are those who hate the one who reproves in the gate and despise him who speaks with integrity.

¹¹Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact from him a tax of grain, you will never live in the stone houses you have built; you will never drink the wine from the lush vineyards you have planted.
