7. Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.
8. As to the man of arm--he hath the earth, And the accepted of face--he dwelleth in it.
9. Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
10. Therefore round about thee [are] snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly.
11. Or darkness--thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee.
12. Is not God high [in] heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
13. And thou hast said, `What--hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
14. Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
15. The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
16. Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
17. Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?
18. And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
19. See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them,
20. `Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.'
21. Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase [is] good.
