3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
