1The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
2He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
4Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Aren`t you children of disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them have you poured a drink-offering, you have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7On a high and lofty mountain have you set your bed; there also went you up to offer sacrifice.
