1 You people may be strongand brag about your sins,but God can be trustedday after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,and your lying words cutlike a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evilthan good, and tell liesthan speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!He will grab you and drag youfrom your homes.You will be uprootedand left to die.
6 When good people seethis fearsome sight,they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!Instead of trusting God,they trusted their wealthand their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive treegrowing in God's house,and I can count on his loveforever and ever.
9 I will always thank Godfor what he has done;I will praise his good namewhen his people meet.
