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?
They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is1 sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
And continue to slay nations without pity?
