11 A person who gets rich dishonestly is like a partridgethat hatches eggs it did not lay.During his lifetime, he will lose his wealth.In the end, he will be a godless fool.”
12 Our holy place is a glorious throne,highly honored from the beginning.
13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who abandon you will be put to shame.Those who turn away from you will be written in dust,because they abandon the Lord,the fountain of life-giving water.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed.Rescue me, and I will be rescued.You are the one I praise.
15 People keep asking me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come.”
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,and I have not longed for the day of destruction.You know what came out of my mouth.
17 Do not terrorize me.You are my refuge on the day of disaster.
