47
Those who conduct business, do so only to have it plundered; the more they adorn their cities, their houses and possessions, and their persons,
48
the more angry I will be with them for their sins, says the Lord.
49
Just as a respectable and virtuous woman abhors a prostitute,
50
so righteousness shall abhor iniquity, when she decks herself out, and shall accuse her to her face when he comes who will defend the one who searches out every sin on earth.
