Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.

I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them.

Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.

A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
