12. Whenever your enemies refuseto change their ways,you sharpen your swordand string your bow.
13. Your deadly arrows are readywith flaming tips.
14. An evil person is like a womanabout to give birthto a hateful, deceitful,and rebellious child.
15. Such people dig a deep hole,then fall in it themselves.
16. The trouble they causecomes back on them,and their heads are crushedby their own evil deeds.
17. I will praise you, Lord!You always do right.I will sing about you,the Lord Most High.
