5. Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities without end?
6. For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked.
7. Thou hast not given water to the fainting to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

15. Dost thou mark the ancient path which wicked men have trodden?
