Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

5“Is your wickedness not abundant,
And is there no end to your guilty deeds?
6“For you have seized pledges from your brothers without cause,
And stripped people naked.
7“You have given the weary no water to drink,
And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8“But the earth belongs to the powerful man,
And the one who is honorable dwells on it.
9“You have sent widows away empty,
And the strength of orphans has been crushed.
10“Therefore traps surround you,
And sudden dread terrifies you,
11Or darkness, so that you cannot see,
And a flood of water covers you.
12“Is God not in the height of heaven?
Look also at the highest stars, how high they are!
13“But you say, ‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the thick darkness?
14‘Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see;
And He walks on the vault of heaven.’
