3. What advantage is it to God, if you were just? Or what do you provide for him, if your way should be immaculate?
4. Will he reprove you and take you to judgment for being afraid,
5. and not because of your many evil deeds and your infinite unfairness?
6. For you have taken away the collateral of your brothers without cause, and stripped them naked of their clothing.
7. You have not given water to the weary; you have taken bread away from the hungry.
8. By the strength of your arm, you took possession of the land, and you retain it by being the strongest.
9. You have sent widows away empty, and you have crushed the shoulders of orphans.
10. Because of this, you are surrounded by traps, and unexpected fears will disturb you.
11. And did you think that you would not see darkness and that you were not to be overwhelmed by the on-rush of overflowing waters?
