Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. Verse ConceptsInjuryIngratitude, Shown ByPeople OpposedRepaying Evil For GoodDoing The Right ThingEnemy Attacks

Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I do not know. They repay me evil for good; my soul is bereft. But I, when they were sick-- I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest. read more.
I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing; like profane mockers at a feast, they gnash at me with their teeth.

In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
