1 The righteous perish,and no one takes it to heart;the devout are taken away,and no one understandsthat the righteous are taken awayto be spared from evil.
2 Those who walk uprightlyenter into peace;they find rest as they lie in death.
3 ‘But you – come here, you children of a sorceress,you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 Who are you mocking?At whom do you sneerand stick out your tongue?Are you not a brood of rebels,the offspring of liars?
