4 All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
5 You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
6 You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
7 Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.
8 The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
9 "Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness."
10 But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.
