Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

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

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

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

Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

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

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
