2. “How long will youkeep judging unfairlyand favouring evil people?
3. Be fair to the poorand to orphans.Defend the helplessand everyone in need.
4. Rescue the weak and homelessfrom the powerful handsof heartless people.
5. “None of you knowor understand a thing.You live in darkness,while the foundationsof the earth tremble.
6. “I, the Most High God, saythat all of you are godsand also my own children.
7. But you will die,just like everyone else,including powerful rulers.”
8. Do something, God!Judge the nations of the earth;they belong to you.
