6. For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry.
8. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
9. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

15. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16. Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood!
