Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every corner she lieth in wait) --

If they say, 'Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.

Do not say, 'I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.

She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the treacherous among men she increaseth.

The words of the wicked are: 'Lay wait for blood,' And the mouth of the upright delivereth them.

Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.
