1 The righteous one perishes, but no one takes it to heart. Godly men are taken away, but no one discerns that the righteous man is taken from evil.
2 He enters into shalom. They rest on their beds, each who walked in his integrity.
3 But as for you, come here, you children of a sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and prostitute.
4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit?
5 You who burn with lust among the oaks and under every green tree, who sacrifice your children in the wadis and under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion—they are your lot. To them you have even poured out a drink offering, made a grain offering. Shall I relent concerning these things?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain you made your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
