1 The righteous 6662 perisheth 6, and no man 376 layeth 7760 it to heart 3820: and merciful 2617 men 582 are taken away 622, none considering 995 that the righteous 6662 is taken away 622 from 6440 the evil 7451 to come.
2 He shall enter 935 into peace 7965: they shall rest 5117 in their beds 4904, each one walking 1980 in his uprightness 5228.
3 But draw near 7126 hither, ye sons 1121 of the sorceress 6049, the seed 2233 of the adulterer 5003 and the whore 2181.
4 Against whom do ye sport 6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wide 7337 mouth 6310, and draw out 748 the tongue 3956? are ye not children 3206 of transgression 6588, a seed 2233 of falsehood 8267,
5 Enflaming 2552 yourselves with idols 410 under every green 7488 tree 6086, slaying 7819 the children 3206 in the valleys 5158 under the clifts 5585 of the rocks 5553?
6 Among the smooth 2511 stones of the stream 5158 is thy portion 2506; they, they are thy lot 1486: even to them hast thou poured 8210 a drink offering 5262, thou hast offered 5927 a meat offering 4503. Should I receive comfort 5162 in these?
7 Upon a lofty 1364 and high 5375 mountain 2022 hast thou set 7760 thy bed 4904: even thither wentest thou up 5927 to offer 2076 sacrifice 2077.
8 Behind 310 the doors 1817 also and the posts 4201 hast thou set up 7760 thy remembrance 2146: for thou hast discovered 1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone up 5927; thou hast enlarged 7337 thy bed 4904, and made 3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst 157 their bed 4904 where 3027 thou sawest 2372 it.
9 And thou wentest 7788 to the king 4428 with ointment 8081, and didst increase 7235 thy perfumes 7547, and didst send 7971 thy messengers 6735 far off 7350, and didst debase 8213 thyself even unto hell 7585.
10 Thou art wearied 3021 in the greatness 7230 of thy way 1870; yet saidst 559 thou not, There is no hope 2976: thou hast found 4672 the life 2416 of thine hand 3027; therefore thou wast not grieved 2470.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid 1672 or feared 3372, that thou hast lied 3576, and hast not remembered 2142 me, nor laid 7760 it to thy heart 3820? have not I held my peace 2814 even of old 5769, and thou fearest 3372 me not?
12 I will declare 5046 thy righteousness 6666, and thy works 4639; for they shall not profit 3276 thee.
13 When thou criest 2199, let thy companies 6899 deliver 5337 thee; but the wind 7307 shall carry them all away 5375; vanity 1892 shall take 3947 them: but he that putteth his trust 2620 in me shall possess 5157 the land 776, and shall inherit 3423 my holy 6944 mountain 2022;
14 And shall say 559, Cast ye up 5549, cast ye up 5549, prepare 6437 the way 1870, take up 7311 the stumblingblock 4383 out of the way 1870 of my people 5971.
15 For thus saith 559 the high 7311 and lofty One 5375 that inhabiteth 7931 eternity 5703, whose name 8034 is Holy 6918; I dwell 7931 in the high 4791 and holy 6918 place, with him also that is of a contrite 1793 and humble 8217 spirit 7307, to revive 2421 the spirit 7307 of the humble 8217, and to revive 2421 the heart 3820 of the contrite ones 1792.
16 For I will not contend 7378 for ever 5769, neither will I be always 5331 wroth 7107: for the spirit 7307 should fail 5848 before 6440 me, and the souls 5397 which I have made 6213.
17 For the iniquity 5771 of his covetousness 1215 was I wroth 7107, and smote 5221 him: I hid 5641 me, and was wroth 7107, and he went on 3212 frowardly 7726 in the way 1870 of his heart 3820.
18 I have seen 7200 his ways 1870, and will heal 7495 him: I will lead 5148 him also, and restore 7999 comforts 5150 unto him and to his mourners 57.
19 I create 1254 the fruit 5108 of the lips 8193; Peace 7965, peace 7965 to him that is far off 7350, and to him that is near 7138, saith 559 the LORD 3068; and I will heal 7495 him.
20 But the wicked 7563 are like the troubled 1644 sea 3220, when it cannot 3201 rest 8252, whose waters 4325 cast up 1644 mire 7516 and dirt 2916.
21 There is no peace 7965, saith 559 my God 430, to the wicked 7563.
