¹ H6662 The righteous H6 perisheth [H8804]   H376 , and no man H7760 layeth [H8802]   H3820 it to heart H2617 : and merciful H582 men H622 are taken away [H8737]   H995 , none considering [H8688]   H6662 that the righteous H622 is taken away [H8738]   H6440 from H7451 the evil to come .

² H935 He shall enter [H8799]   H7965 into peace H5117 : they shall rest [H8799]   H4904 in their beds H1980 , each one walking [H8802]   H5228 in his uprightness.

³ H7126 But draw near [H8798]   H1121 hither, ye sons H6049 of the sorceress [H8781]   H2233 , the seed H5003 of the adulterer [H8764]   H2181 and the whore [H8799]  .

⁴ H6026 Against whom do ye sport [H8691]   H7337 yourselves? against whom make ye a wide [H8686]   H6310 mouth H748 , and draw out [H8686]   H3956 the tongue H3206 ? are ye not children H6588 of transgression H2233 , a seed H8267 of falsehood,

⁵ H2552 Enflaming [H8737]   H410 yourselves with idols H7488 under every green H6086 tree H7819 , slaying [H8802]   H3206 the children H5158 in the valleys H5585 under the clifts H5553 of the rocks?

⁶ H2511 Among the smooth H5158 stones of the stream H2506 is thy portion H1486 ; they, they are thy lot H8210 : even to them hast thou poured [H8804]   H5262 a drink offering H5927 , thou hast offered [H8689]   H4503 a meat offering H5162 . Should I receive comfort [H8735]   in these?

⁷ H1364 Upon a lofty H5375 and high [H8737]   H2022 mountain H7760 hast thou set [H8804]   H4904 thy bed H5927 : even thither wentest thou up [H8804]   H2076 to offer [H8800]   H2077 sacrifice.

⁸ H310 Behind H1817 the doors H4201 also and the posts H7760 hast thou set up [H8804]   H2146 thy remembrance H1540 : for thou hast discovered [H8765]   H5927 thyself to another than me, and art gone up [H8799]   H7337 ; thou hast enlarged [H8689]   H4904 thy bed H3772 , and made [H8799]   H157 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst [H8804]   H4904 their bed H3027 where H2372 thou sawest [H8804]   it .

⁹ H7788 And thou wentest [H8799]   H4428 to the king H8081 with ointment H7235 , and didst increase [H8686]   H7547 thy perfumes H7971 , and didst send [H8762]   H6735 thy messengers H7350 far off H8213 , and didst debase [H8686]   H7585 thyself even unto hell.

¹⁰ H3021 Thou art wearied [H8804]   H7230 in the greatness H1870 of thy way H559 ; yet saidst [H8804]   H2976 thou not, There is no hope [H8737]   H4672 : thou hast found [H8804]   H2416 the life H3027 of thine hand H2470 ; therefore thou wast not grieved [H8804]  .

¹¹ H1672 And of whom hast thou been afraid [H8804]   H3372 or feared [H8799]   H3576 , that thou hast lied [H8762]   H2142 , and hast not remembered [H8804]   H7760 me, nor laid [H8804]   H3820 it to thy heart H2814 ? have not I held my peace [H8688]   H5769 even of old H3372 , and thou fearest [H8799]   me not?

¹² H5046 I will declare [H8686]   H6666 thy righteousness H4639 , and thy works H3276 ; for they shall not profit [H8686]   thee.

¹³ H2199 When thou criest [H8800]   H6899 , let thy companies H5337 deliver [H8686]   H7307 thee; but the wind H5375 shall carry them all away [H8799]   H1892 ; vanity H3947 shall take [H8799]   H2620 them : but he that putteth his trust [H8802]   H5157 in me shall possess [H8799]   H776 the land H3423 , and shall inherit [H8799]   H6944 my holy H2022 mountain;

¹⁴ H559 And shall say [H8804]   H5549 , Cast ye up [H8798]   H5549 , cast ye up [H8798]   H6437 , prepare [H8761]   H1870 the way H7311 , take up [H8685]   H4383 the stumblingblock H1870 out of the way H5971 of my people.

¹⁵ H559 For thus saith [H8804]   H7311 the high [H8802]   H5375 and lofty One [H8737]   H7931 that inhabiteth [H8802]   H5703 eternity H8034 , whose name H6918 is Holy H7931 ; I dwell [H8799]   H4791 in the high H6918 and holy H1793 place, with him also that is of a contrite H8217 and humble H7307 spirit H2421 , to revive [H8687]   H7307 the spirit H8217 of the humble H2421 , and to revive [H8687]   H3820 the heart H1792 of the contrite ones [H8737]  .

¹⁶ H7378 For I will not contend [H8799]   H5769 for ever H5331 , neither will I be always H7107 wroth [H8799]   H7307 : for the spirit H5848 should fail [H8799]   H6440 before H5397 me, and the souls H6213 which I have made [H8804]  .

¹⁷ H5771 For the iniquity H1215 of his covetousness H7107 was I wroth [H8804]   H5221 , and smote [H8686]   H5641 him: I hid [H8687]   H7107 me, and was wroth [H8799]   H3212 , and he went on [H8799]   H7726 frowardly H1870 in the way H3820 of his heart.

¹⁸ H7200 I have seen [H8804]   H1870 his ways H7495 , and will heal [H8799]   H5148 him: I will lead [H8686]   H7999 him also, and restore [H8762]   H5150 comforts H57 unto him and to his mourners.

¹⁹ H1254 I create [H8802]   H5108 the fruit H8193 of the lips H7965 ; Peace H7965 , peace H7350 to him that is far off H7138 , and to him that is near H559 , saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7495 ; and I will heal [H8804]   him.

²⁰ H7563 But the wicked H1644 are like the troubled [H8737]   H3220 sea H3201 , when it cannot [H8799]   H8252 rest [H8687]   H4325 , whose waters H1644 cast up [H8799]   H7516 mire H2916 and dirt.

²¹ H7965 There is no peace H559 , saith [H8804]   H430 my God H7563 , to the wicked.
