If you have any words, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.
Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities. For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing. You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry. The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man lived in it. You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
“Behold, I know your thoughts and your schemes to wrong me.
But you are doing away with the fear of God and hindering meditation before God. For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
