5. Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities without end?
6. For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7. You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
9. You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10. Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;
11. Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.
12. Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13. And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14. Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circle of heaven.
15. Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16. Who were cut down before their time, whose foundation was swept away with a flood:
17. Who said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do to us?
