¹ Are ye, indeed, silent when righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?² Aye! ye all do work, perversity, - Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!³ Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;⁴ Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;⁵ That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.

⁶ O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!⁷ Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like grass let them be cut down:⁸ Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:⁹ Before your kettles can perceive the kindled bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.¹⁰ The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: - ¹¹ So that a son of earth may say - Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
