the ruthless, the oppressor
This noun denotes someone who acts with violence or oppression. Isaiah 1:17 uses it in a command: 'Set right the ruthless' (or possibly 'Relieve the oppressed,' depending on whether it's active or passive). The context is Isaiah's call for justice in Jerusalem—genuine righteousness means actively intervening on behalf of those suffering under violent oppression. The rare word appears only here, making its precise nuance debated.

1. sense 1 — One who acts ruthlessly or oppressively, or possibly one who is oppressed (if the form is passive). The Hebrew form suggests an active agent ('ruthless one') rather than a victim, but ancient versions varied. Spanish 'al opresor' (the oppressor) takes it actively. Isaiah 1:17's ethical imperatives focus on correcting social injustice, whether by restraining oppressors or defending the oppressed—both interpretations fit the prophetic call. 1×
