1 The righteous person perishes,and no one takes it to heart.Loyal people are gathered together,and no one understands that because of evilthe righteous one passed away.
2 They will find peace;those who walk in straight pathswill find rest on their burial beds.
3 Come here, you children of sorcery,offspring of adultery and prostitution!
4 Whom are you mocking?Against whom do you open your mouth wideand stick out your tongue?Aren’t you children of rebellion, offspring of lies,
5 who console yourselves with idols under every green tree,who slaughter children in the valleys, under the rocky cliffs?
6 You belong with the smooth talkers in the valley;they, they are your lot.For them you poured out a drink offering,and presented a grain offering.Should I condone these things?
7 On a very high mountain you made your bed.You went up there to offer a sacrifice.
