And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?

And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
