3 Is the Almighty pleased when you are righteous?Does he gain anything when you follow the path of integrity?
4 Does God correct youand bring you into a court of law because you fear him?
5 “Aren’t you really very wicked?Is there no end to your wrongdoing?
6 For no reason you take your brothers’ goods as security for a loanand strip them of their clothes.
7 You don’t even give a tired person a drink of water,and you take food away from hungry people.
8 A strong person owns the land.A privileged person lives in it.
9 You send widows away empty-handed,and the arms of orphans are broken.
