58:2 Yea! In your heart you work wickedness; you weigh out the violence from your hands in the earth. |
58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they who speak lies go astray from birth. |
58:4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; he stops his ear like the deaf adder, |
58:5 Which will not listen to the charmer's voice, though a skillful caster of spells. |
58:6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; shatter the fangs of the young lions, O LORD. |
58:7 Let them melt away like waters which run off continually. When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. |
58:8 Let them be as a slug which is melting away; as a miscarriage of a woman, so they may never see the sun. |
58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind— whether green or dry. |
58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he shall bathe his footsteps in the blood of the wicked, |
58:11 So that a man shall say, "Truly, there is a reward for the righteous; truly, there is a God Who is judging in the earth." |
