1 The righteous perish,and no one lays it to heart.Merciful men are taken away,and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2 He enters into peace.They rest in their beds,each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress,you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
4 Whom do you mock?Against whom do you make a wide mouth,and stick out your tongue?Aren’t you children of disobedience,and offspring of falsehood,
5 you who inflame yourselves amongst the oaks,under every green tree;who kill the children in the valleys,under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Amongst the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;they, they are your lot.You have even poured a drink offering to them.You have offered an offering.Shall I be appeased for these things?
