Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

עָשַׁק fut. יַעֲשֹׁק, Arab. عسق.

(1) to oppress, to act towards, or treat any one unjustly or violently, e.g. the needy, helpless, Proverbs 14:31, 22:16 28:3 Ecclesiastes 4:1 a king his subjects, 1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:4 a victor, the vanquished, Isaiah 52:4; Jeremiah 50:33; Psalms 105:14; Hosea 5:11 God, a man, Job 10:3.

(2) to defraud, any one, to extort from him by fraud and violence, with an acc. of pers. Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14 and of the thing, Malachi 3:5, עשְׁקֵי שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר “who extort the wages of the hireling.”-Both constructions (Nos. 1 and 2) are found together in Micah 2:2, עָֽשְׁקוּ גֶּבֶר וּבֵיתוֹ “they oppress a man and wrest away his house,” i.e. act both with fraud and violence, compare גָּזַל.
