⁹ Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
    and their tongues take possession of the earth.
¹⁰ Therefore their people turn to them
    and drink up waters in abundance.^[a]
11 They say, “How would God know?
    Does the Most High know anything?”

¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,^(A)
    nor will he pity^(B) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly^(C) and wicked,^(D)
    every mouth speaks folly.^(E)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.^(F)
