6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness affects humans.
9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out; they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 There they cry out, but he does not answer because of the pride of evildoers.
