Chapter 58

1


 

  To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?  

 

 

--

2


 

  Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.  

 

 

--

3


 

  The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,  

 

 

--

5


 

  Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.  

 

 

--

6


 

  O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.  

 

 

--

7


 

  They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.  

 

 

--

8


 

  As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.  

 

 

--

11


 

  And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'  

 

 

--
