8 You did it even though you were honored and powerful. You owned land and lived on it.
9 But you sent widows away without anything. You mistreated children whose fathers had died.
10 That's why traps have been set all around you. That's why sudden danger terrifies you.
11 That's why it's so dark you can't even see. That's why a flood covers you up.
12 "Isn't God in the highest parts of heaven? See how high the highest stars are!
13 But you still say, 'What does God know? Can he see through the darkest clouds to judge us?
14 He goes around in the highest heavens. Thick clouds keep him from seeing us.'
