Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you,
    and enters into judgment with you?
Is not your wickedness great?
    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 dwelt in it.
You have sent widows away empty,
    and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
10 Therefore snares are round about you,
    and sudden terror overwhelms you;
11 your light is darkened, so that[a] you cannot see,
    and a flood of water covers you.
