Does he rebuke you for your piety,
    bring you in for judgment?
Isn’t your wickedness massive,
    your iniquity endless?
You have taken payments from your family for no reason;
    stripped the naked, leaving no clothes;
    denied water to the thirsty,
    withheld bread from the starving.
(The powerful own land;
    the favored live in it.)
You have sent widows away empty;
    crushed orphans’ resources.
10 For this reason, snares surround you;
    sudden dread brings panic to you
11     or a darkness that you can’t see;
    rushing water will cover you.
