3. Is it any pleasure to Shaddai, that thou art tzaddik? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?
4. Is it for thy yireh [Elohim] that He reproves thee? Will He enter with thee into mishpat?
5. Is not thy rah great? And thine avonot infinite?
6. For thou hast exacted a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the arummim (naked ones) of their clothing.
7. Thou hast not given mayim to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld lechem from the hungry.
8. But as for the ish zeroa (mighty man), his is ha'aretz; and the honorable man dwelt therein.
9. Thou hast sent almanot away empty, and the arms of the yetomim have been broken.
10. Therefore pachim (snares) are around thee, and sudden pachad troubleth thee;
11. Or choshech, that thou canst not see; and overflow of mayim cover thee.
12. Is not Eloah in the height of Shomayim? And hinei the rosh kokhavim, how high they are!
13. And thou sayest, How doth El know? Can He judge through the thick cloud?
14. Thick clouds veil Him, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the vault of Shomayim.
15. Wilt thou note the orach olam which wicked men have trodden?
16. Who were cut down before their time, whose yesod was overflown with a flood;
17. Who said unto El, Depart from us; and what can Shaddai do to them?
