“Enough of your preaching!”
    That's what you tell me.
“We won't be disgraced,
    so stop preaching!”

Descendants of Jacob,
    is it right for you to claim
that the Lord did what he did
    because he was angry?
Doesn't he always bless
    those who do right?
My people, you have turned against
    one another!
You have even stolen
    clothes right off the backs
of innocent neighbors
    who pass by in peace.[a]
