8 You used your power and your positionto take over the whole land.
9 You not only refused to help widows,but you also robbed and ill-treated orphans.
10 So now there are pitfalls all round you,and suddenly you are full of fear.
11 It has grown so dark that you cannot see,and a flood overwhelms you.
12 Doesn't God live in the highest heavensand look down on the stars, even though they are high?
13 And yet you ask, “What does God know?He is hidden by clouds — how can he judge us?”
14 You think the thick clouds keep him from seeing,as he walks on the dome of the sky.
