11 Destruction is in its midst;
^aOppression and deceit do not depart from its streets. ‡

12 ^aFor it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has ^bexalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him. ‡

15 Let death seize them;
Let them ^ago down alive into hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them. ‡

16 As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.
