, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you makes your ways perfect?
22:4 Would he criticize you for fear of you? or will he enter into you with judgment?
22:5 Isn’t your wickedness great? and no end to your iniquities?
22:6 For you have taken a deposit from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld food from the hungry.
22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the land; and the honorable man lives in it.

22:16 Which were cut down out before their time, whose foundation was swept away with a flood:
