11. Destruction is in its midst;Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
12. For it is not an enemy who reproaches me;Then I could bear it.Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me;Then I could hide from him.
13. But it was you, a man my equal,My companion and my acquaintance.
14. We took sweet counsel together,And walked to the house of God in the throng.
15. Let death seize them;Let them go 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.
17. Evening and morning and at noonI will pray, and cry aloud,And He shall hear my voice.
