26 Whoever takes away a neighbor’s livingcommits murder,
27 and whoever deprives a workerof wages sheds blood.
28 One person builds,and another tears down;what have they gainedother than hard work?
29 One person prays,and another person curses;to whose voice will the master listen?
30 When people bathe after touchinga corpse and touch it again,what have they gained by washing?
31 So when people fast because of their sins,and then go and do the samethings again,who will listen to their prayer,and what did they gainby humbling themselves?
