1-2. I’m in trouble. I cry to God,desperate for an answer:“Deliver me from the liars, God!They smile so sweetly but lie through their teeth.”
3-4. Do you know what’s next, can you see what’s coming,all you barefaced liars?Pointed arrows and burning coalswill be your reward.
5-7. I’m doomed to live in Meshech,cursed with a home in Kedar,My whole life lived campingamong quarreling neighbors.I’m all for peace, but the minuteI tell them so, they go to war!
