5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against him? or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do unto him?
7 If you are righteous, what give you to him? or what receives he of your hand?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
