4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
And enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6 For you have
ataken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you
ahave withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the
1 mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the
1 strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10 Therefore snares
are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness
so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of
awater covers you.
