³² If you have anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify you.

⁴ Yes, you do away with fear, And hinder devotion before God.

⁵ For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the crafty.

²⁷ "Behold, I know your thoughts, The devices with which you would wrong me.

⁵ Isn't your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.

⁶ For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

⁷ You haven't given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.

⁸ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.

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

⁵ Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
