6. They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
7. They have said, "The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."
8. Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?
9. He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
10. He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?
11. The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.
12. Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord, And whom You teach out of Your law;
13. That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14. For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15. For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16. Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
