8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your 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.
10 But none says, `Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,
11 Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?`
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when you say you don`t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
