6 If you sin, it does nothing to God;even if your sins are many, they do nothing to him.
7 If you are good, you give nothing to God;he receives nothing from your hand.
8 Your evil ways only hurt others like yourself,and the good you do only helps other human beings.
9 “People cry out when they are in trouble;they beg for relief from powerful people.
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is God, my Maker,who gives us songs in the night,
11 who makes us smarter than the animals of the earthand wiser than the birds of the air?’
12 God does not answer evil people when they cry out,because the wicked are proud.
