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

from those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

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

and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;

I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.

that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.

Do they not err that devise evil? but loving-kindness and truth are for those that devise good.

for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.

A lying tongue hateth those that are injured by it, and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.
