5. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
6. If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him.
7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit a son of man.
9. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
