1. The righteous perish,and no one lays it to heart.Merciful men are taken away,and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2. He enters into peace.They rest in their beds,each one who walks in his uprightness.
3. “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress,you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
4. Whom do you mock?Against whom do you make a wide mouth,and stick out your tongue?Aren’t you children of disobedience,and offspring of falsehood,
5. you who inflame yourselves amongst the oaks,under every green tree;who kill the children in the valleys,under the clefts of the rocks?
6. Amongst the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;they, they are your lot.You have even poured a drink offering to them.You have offered an offering.Shall I be appeased for these things?
7. On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed.You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
