⁴ Is it ^[a]for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee,
That he entereth with thee into judgment?
⁵ Is not thy wickedness great?
Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
⁶ For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
⁷ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,
And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
⁸ But as for ^[b]the mighty man, he had the ^[c]earth;
And ^[d]the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
⁹ Thou hast sent widows away empty,
And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
¹⁰ Therefore snares are round about thee,
And sudden fear troubleth thee,
^11 [e]Or darkness, so that thou canst not see,
And abundance of waters cover thee.
