Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain `to him', that thou makest thy ways perfect?

Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

Is it for thy fear `of him' that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

`Saying', Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.

Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?

And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.

Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

He will deliver `even' him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
