² Like a servant who ^[a]earnestly desires the shade,
And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,

¹² The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God does not charge them with wrong.

³⁹ If ^(A)I have eaten its ^[a]fruit without money,
Or ^(B)caused its owners to lose their lives;

⁵ And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
^(A)Against perjurers,
Against those who ^(B)exploit wage earners and ^(C)widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
