Insecurity of the wicked » Fall of the wicked foretold
A deep chasm, is the mouth of strange women, he with whom Yahweh is indignant, falleth there.
Were they led to turn pale because an abominable thing, they had done! Nay! they did not, at all turn pale, Nay! they did not so much as know how, to exhibit shame, Therefore, shall they fall among them who are falling, In the time when I punish them, shall they be overthrown, Saith Yahweh.
They who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, As thy God, liveth, O Dan! and, As the Way of Beer-sheba, liveth, shall fall, and shall not rise any more.
The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.
He that diggeth a pit, thereinto, may fall, - and, he that breaketh through a hedge, there may bite him a serpent.
I do not bring punishment upon your daughters when they become unchaste, nor upon your brides, when they commit adultery, for, the men themselves, with unchaste women, do seclude themselves, and, with the common women of the shrine, do offer sacrifice, - and, a people who will not discern, must be ruined.
Therefore shalt thou say unto them - Thus, saith Yahweh, Will men fall and not arise? Will one turn away, and not come back?
