Israel’s Futile Idolatry
1 The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
aMerciful men are taken away,
bWhile no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from1 evil.
And no man takes it to heart;
aMerciful men are taken away,
bWhile no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from1 evil.
4 Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
5 Inflaming yourselves with gods aunder every green tree,
bSlaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
bSlaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth astones of the stream
Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in bthese?
Is your portion;

You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in bthese?
