34 You have blood on your clothes.
    It is the blood of the poor and innocent people.
You killed them,
    but they weren’t thieves you had caught breaking in.
You do all these things,
35     but you say, ‘I am innocent.
    God is not angry with me.’
But I will judge you guilty of lying.

    And Egypt will let you down, too.
