10. They mock kingsand laugh at rulers.They laugh at every fortified city;they build siege ramps and capture them.
11. They sweep by like the wind and pass on.But the one who considers himself a god will be held guilty.”
12. Lord, you have been active from ancient times;my sovereign God, you are immortal.Lord, you have made them your instrument of judgment.Protector, you have appointed them as your instrument of punishment.
13. You are too just to tolerate evil;you are unable to condone wrongdoing.So why do you put up with such treacherous people?Why do you say nothing when the wicked devour those more righteous than they are?
