48 Those who transact business do so only to be plundered. The longer they adorn their cities and houses, possessions and persons,
49 the more I will be enraged against them on account of their sins, says the Lord.
50 Just as a proper and good woman is enraged at a woman who is promiscuous,
51 so justice will be enraged against sin when it tries to make itself beautiful, and will accuse it to its face since he who defends will come, hunting up sins on the earth.
52 Therefore, don’t be like it or its ways.
53 Look, just a little longer and sin will be removed from the earth and justice will rule over us.
54 Let sinners not deny that they have sinned, for God will burn coals of fire over the head of those who say, "I haven’t sinned before God and his glory."
