³² If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

⁴ Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.

⁵ For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

²⁷ Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.

⁵ Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

⁶ For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

⁷ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

⁸ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

⁹ Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

⁵ Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
