1 The righteous one perishes,and no one takes it to heart;faithful men are swept away,with no one realizingthat the righteous one is swept awayfrom the presence of evil.
2 He will enter into peace —they will rest on their beds —everyone who lives uprightly.
3 But come here,you sons of a sorceress,offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4 Who is it you are mocking?Who is it you are opening your mouthand sticking out your tongue at?Isn’t it you, you rebellious children, you race of liars,
5 who burn with lust among the oaks,under every green tree, who slaughter children in the wadisbelow the clefts of the rocks?
