33 How skilled you are at pursuing(A) love!
    Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
    the lifeblood(B) of the innocent poor,
    though you did not catch them breaking in.(C)
Yet in spite of all this

But I will pass judgment(E) on you
    because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(F)
