Lo! GOD, will not reject a blameless man, neither will he grasp the hand of evil-doers:

There, men make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.

For dogs have surrounded me, - An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet,

I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies - mine! - they, stumbled and fell!

Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;

For, evil doers, shall be cut off, but, as for them who wait for Yahweh, they, shall inherit the earth.

Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

Who will rise up for me, against the evil-doers? Who will make a stand for me, against the workers of iniquity?

Depart from me, ye evil-doers, - that I may observe the commandments of my God.

Burn not with vexation against evil doers, be not envious of lawless men;

But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And his own words, hath he not set aside, - Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil-doers, and Against the help of the workers of iniquity.

that they may give it into the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh, that they may give it to the doers of the work, who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house;

And the overseers in the house of Yahweh, delivered it into the hand of the doer of the work, - yea they delivered it to the doers of the work, because they were working in the house of Yahweh, in searching and repairing the house:

Now, therefore, we are pronouncing happy - the proud, - and, the doers of lawlessness have, even been built up, and, they who have put God to the proof, have even been delivered.

So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, - and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.

and they have poured out the silver, that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the doers of the work.

And, all the rulers of the provinces, and the satraps and the pashas, and the doers of business that pertained to the king, were extolling the Jews, - for the dread of Mordecai, had fallen upon them;

Then came Shaphan the scribe unto the king, and brought the king word again, - and said - Thy servants have poured out the silver that was found in the house, and have delivered it unto the hand of the doers of the work, who have oversight of the house of Yahweh.

then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, - and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh;

for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.

And they used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing.

But among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing, - Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have all of them become to me as Sodom, And her inhabitants as Gomorrah.

And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, - With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger; For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, -

Then sent Pharaoh, and called for Moses and for Aaron, and said unto them - I have sinned this time, - Yahweh, is the righteous one, and, I and my people, are the wrong-doers.

He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Alas! for them Who call evil good and good evil, - Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
