Iniquity » The workers of iniquity
Jehovah looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, if there is anyone who seeks help from God. Everyone has turned away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things. Are all the workers of wickedness, those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, so ignorant that they do not call on Jehovah?
Do not drag me away with the wicked and with troublemakers who speak of peace with their neighbors but have evil in their hearts. Pay them back for what they have done, for their evil deeds. Pay them back for what their hands have done, and give them recompense. Jehovah will tear them down and never build them up again. This is because they never consider what he has done or what his hands have made.
Now look at your enemies, O Jehovah. They disappear and all troublemakers are scattered.
