For the righteous man is taken away from evil,H6662H6H376H7760H3820H2617H582H622H995H6662H622H6440H7451 2He enters into peace; They rest in their beds, [Each one] who walked in his upright way.H935H7965H5117H4904H1980H5228 3"But come here, you sons of a sorceress, Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.H7126H1121H6049H2233H5003H2181 4"Against whom do you jest? Against whom do you open wide your mouth And stick out your tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, Offspring of deceit,H6026H7337H6310H748H3956H3206H6588H2233H8267 5[Who] inflame yourselves among the oaks, Under every luxuriant tree, Who slaughter the children in the ravines, Under the clefts of the crags?H2552H410H7488H6086H7819H3206H5158H5585H5553 6"Among the smooth [stones] of the ravine Is your portion, they are your lot; Even to them you have poured out a libation, You have made a grain offering. Shall I relent concerning these things?H2511H5158H2506H1486H8210H5262H5927H4503H5162 7"Upon a high and lofty mountain You have made your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.H1364H5375H2022H7760H4904H5927H2076H2077 8"And behind the door and the doorpost You have set up your sign; Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself; And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved their bed, You have looked on [their] manhood.H310H1817H4201H7760H2146H1540H5927H7337H4904H3772H157H4904H3027H2372 9"And you have journeyed to the king with oil And increased your perfumes; You have sent your envoys a great distance, And made [them] go down to Sheol.H7788H4428H8081H7235H7547H7971H6735H7350H8213H7585 10"You were tired out by the length of your road, [Yet] you did not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewed strength, Therefore you did not faint.H3021H7230H1870H559H2976H4672H2416H3027H2470 11"Of whom were you worried and fearful, When you lied, and did not remember Me, Nor give [Me] a thought? Was I not silent even for a long time So you do not fear Me?H1672H3372H3576H2142H7760H3820H2814H5769H3372 12"I will declare your righteousness and your deeds, But they will not profit you.H5046H6666H4639H3276 13"When you cry out, let your collection [of idols] deliver you. But the wind will carry all of them up, And a breath will take [them away.] But he who takes refuge in Me shall inherit the land, And shall possess My holy mountain."H2199H6899H5337H7307H5375H1892H3947H2620H5157H776H3423H6944H2022 14And it shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove [every] obstacle out of the way of My people."H559H5549H5549H6437H1870H7311H4383H1870H5971 15For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, "I dwell [on] a high and holy place, And [also] with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite.H559H7311H5375H7931H5703H8034H6918H7931H4791H6918H1793H8217H7307H2421H7307H8217H2421H3820H1792 16"For I will not contend forever, Neither will I always be angry; For the spirit would grow faint before Me, And the breath [of those whom] I have made.H7378H5769H5331H7107H7307H5848H6440H5397H6213 17"Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him; I hid [My face] and was angry, And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart.H5771H1215H7107H5221H5641H7107H3212H7726H1870H3820 18"I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners,H7200H1870H7495H5148H7999H5150H57 19Creating the praise of the lips. Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near, "Says the LORD," and I will heal him. "H1254H5108H8193H7965H7965H7350H7138H559H3068H7495 20But the wicked are like the tossing sea, For it cannot be quiet, And its waters toss up refuse and mud.H7563H1644H3220H3201H8252H4325H1644H7516H2916 21"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."H7965H559H430H7563
