4 Does God punish you for respecting him?Does he bring you into court for this?
5 No! It is because your evil is without limitsand your sins have no end.
6 You took your brothers’ things for a debt they didn’t owe;you took clothes from people and left them naked.
7 You did not give water to tired people,and you kept food from the hungry.
8 You were a powerful man who owned land;you were honored and lived in the land.
9 But you sent widows away empty-handed,and you mistreated orphans.
10 That is why traps are all around youand sudden danger frightens you.
