Impenitent

Why are you full of envy?
Your impenitent mind is storing up wrath for yourself;
Why practice the same things and claim that you are wiser?
You are without a defense oh man.
Your reward comes according to your works,
You are what you say you are.
They are gossips,
They are inventors of evil things,
What kind of a culture is this? !
A culture which allows you to see the nakedness of,
Your parents-in-law and siblings-in-law;
This culture do not know what is called nakedness.
