    5Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

    6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

    7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

    8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

    23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

    24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

    25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

    29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

    30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
