1. The just have perished,but no one takes it to heart;The steadfast are swept away,while no one understands.Yet the just are taken away from the presence of evil,
2. and enter into peace;They rest upon their couches,the sincere, who walk in integrity.
3. But you, draw near,you children of a sorceress,offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4. Against whom do you make sport,against whom do you open wide your mouth,and stick out your tongue?Are you not rebellious children,deceitful offspring—
5. You who burn with lust among the oaks,under every green tree;You who immolate children in the wadies,among the clefts of the rocks?
6. Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion,they, they are your allotment;Indeed, you poured out a drink offering to them,and brought up grain offerings.With these things, should I be appeased?
