All their evil is at Gilgal;
Indeed, I came to hate them there!
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of My house!
I will love them no more;
All their princes are rebels.

All of them are stubbornly rebellious,

Going about as a talebearer.

They are bronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;

Preserve me from violent men

Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

Moreover, the Lord

made it known to me and I knew it;

Then You showed me their deeds.

Then they said, “Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the sage, nor the divine word to the prophet! Come on and let us strike at him with our tongue, and let us give no heed to any of his words.”

Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets;
I have slain them by the words of My mouth;
And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.

Where will you be stricken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint.

O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth?
You have smitten them,
But they did not weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.

“From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years the word of the Lord has come to me, and I have spoken to you

again and again, but you have not listened.

“But I gave you also cleanness of teeth in all your cities
And lack of bread in all your places,
Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.

Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The tyrannical city!

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
