|
1 |
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye
judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
|
|
|
2 |
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence
of your hands in the earth.
|
|
3 |
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray
as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
|
|
4 |
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are
like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
|
|
5 |
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
charming never so wisely.
|
|
6 |
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
|
|
7 |
Let them melt away as waters which run continually:
when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
|
|
8 |
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass
away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
|
|
9 |
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take
them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
|
|
10 |
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the
vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
|
11 |
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for
the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
