7. Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Has the Lord grown impatient?Are these his deeds?Do not my words do goodto him who walks uprightly?
8. But lately my people have risen up as an enemy;you strip the rich robe from those who pass by trustinglywith no thought of war.
9. The women of my people you drive outfrom their delightful houses;from their young children you take awaymy splendor forever.
