9 Let’s make sure that no meadow is left untouched by our high-spirited fun. Let’s leave evidence everywhere that we made the most of this life, because this life is all we have.
10 Let’s take advantage of the day laborer who does what’s right. Let’s not be afraid to abuse the widow. Let’s show that we couldn’t care less for the gray hair of our elders.
11 May strength be our only law and determine what’s right, for it’s clear to us that what is weak is worthless.
12 Let’s lie in ambush for the one who does what is right. He’s a nuisance to us. He always opposes our actions. He blames us because we have failed to keep the Law. He condemns us for turning our backs on our upbringing.
13 He boasts of his knowledge of God. He even calls himself the Lord’s servant.
14 He exposes our secret plans. Just to look at him makes us sick.
15 His life isn’t like the lives of others. His ways are completely different.
