1 The righteous has perished, || And there is none laying [it] to heart, || And men of kindness are gathered, || Without any considering that from the face of evil || The righteous one is gathered.

2 He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, || [Each] is going straightforward.

3 “And you, come near here, || O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, || Even you commit whoredom.

4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth || [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?

5 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, || Slaughtering the children in valleys, || Under clefts of the rocks.

6 Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, || They [are] your lot, || You have also poured out an oblation to them, || You have caused a present to ascend, || Am I comforted in these things?
