¹³ You have spoken harshly about me,
says the Lord;
        but you say,
            “What have we spoken about you?”
¹⁴ You said,
    “Serving God is useless.
    What do we gain by keeping his obligation
            or by walking around as mourners
            before the Lord of heavenly forces?
¹⁵ So now we consider the arrogant fortunate.
        Moreover, those doing evil are built up;
            they test God and escape.”
