[1] The righteous perish,
and no one lays it to heart.
Merciful men are taken away,
and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
[2] He enters into peace.
They rest in their beds,
each one who walks in his uprightness. [3] “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
[4] Whom do you mock?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
and stick out your tongue?
Aren’t you children of disobedience
and offspring of falsehood,
[5] you who inflame yourselves among the oaks,
under every green tree;
who kill the children in the valleys,
under the clefts of the rocks?
[6] Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion.
They, they are your lot.
You have even poured a drink offering to them.
You have offered an offering.
Shall I be appeased for these things?
[7] On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
[8] You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts,
for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me,
and have gone up.
You have enlarged your bed
and made a covenant for yourself with them.
You loved what you saw on their bed.
[9] You went to the king with oil,
increased your perfumes,
sent your ambassadors far off,
and degraded yourself even to Sheol.ⓘ
[10] You were wearied with the length of your ways;
yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’
You found a reviving of your strength;
therefore you weren’t faint. [11] “Whom have you dreaded and feared,
so that you lie,
and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?
Haven’t I held my peace for a long time,
and you don’t fear me?
[12] I will declare your righteousness;
and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
[13] When you cry,
let those whom you have gathered deliver you,
but the wind will take them.
A breath will carry them all away,
but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land,
and will inherit my holy mountain.” [14] He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way!
Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
[15] For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity,
whose name is Holy, says:
“I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
[16] For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry;
for the spirit would faint before me,
and the souls whom I have made.
[17] I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him.
I hid myself and was angry;
and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
[18] I have seen his ways, and will heal him.
I will lead him also,
and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
[19] I create the fruit of the lips:
Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,”
says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
[20] But the wicked are like the troubled sea;
for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
[21] “There is no peace”, says my God,
“for the wicked.”

King James Version
[1] The righteous H6662 perisheth, H6 and no man H376 layeth H7760 it to heart: H3820 and merciful H2617 men H582§ are taken away, H622 none considering H995 that the righteous H6662 is taken away H622 from H6440 the evil H7451 to come.§ [2] He shall enter H935 into peace: H7965§ they shall rest H5117 in their beds, H4904 each one walking H1980 in his§ uprightness. H5228 [3] But draw near H7126 hither, ye sons H1121 of the sorceress, H6049 the seed H2233 of the adulterer H5003 and the whore. H2181 [4] Against H5921 whom do ye sport H6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wide H7337 mouth, H6310 and draw out H748 the tongue? H3956 are ye not children H3206 of transgression, H6588 a seed H2233 of falsehood, H8267 [5] enflaming H2552 yourselves with idols H410§ under every green H7488 tree, H6086 slaying H7819 the children H3206 in the valleys H5158 under the clifts H5585 of the rocks? H5553 [6] Among the smooth H2511 stones of the stream H5158 is thy portion; H2506 they, they are thy lot: H1486 even H1571 to them hast thou poured H8210 a drink offering, H5262 thou hast offered H5927 a meat offering. H4503 Should I receive comfort H5162 in these? [7] Upon H5921 a lofty H1364 and high H5375 mountain H2022 hast thou set H7760 thy bed: H4904 even H1571 thither wentest thou up H5927 to offer H2076 sacrifice. H2077 [8] Behind H310 the doors H1817 also and the posts H4201 hast thou set up H7760 thy remembrance: H2146 for H3588 thou hast discovered H1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone up; H5927 thou hast enlarged H7337 thy bed, H4904 and made H3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst H157 their bed H4904 where H3027 thou sawest H2372 it.§ [9] And thou wentest H7788 to the king H4428§ with ointment, H8081 and didst increase H7235 thy perfumes, H7547 and didst send H7971 thy messengers H6735 far off, H7350 and didst debase H8213 thyself even unto hell. H7585 [10] Thou art wearied H3021 in the greatness H7230 of thy way; H1870 yet saidst H559 thou not, There is no hope: H2976 thou hast found H4672 the life H2416§ of thine hand; H3027 therefore thou wast not grieved. H2470 [11] And of whom hast thou been afraid H1672 or feared, H3372 that thou hast lied, H3576 and hast not remembered H2142 me, nor laid H7760 it to thy heart? H3820 have H2814 not H3808 I held my peace H2814 even of old, H5769 and thou fearest H3372 me not? [12] I will declare H5046 thy righteousness, H6666 and thy works; H4639 for they shall not profit H3276 thee. [13] When thou criest, H2199 let thy companies H6899 deliver H5337 thee; but the wind H7307 shall carry them all away; H5375 vanity H1892 shall take H3947 them: but he that putteth his trust H2620 in me shall possess H5157 the land, H776 and shall inherit H3423 my holy H6944 mountain; H2022 [14] and shall say, H559 Cast ye up, H5549 cast ye up, H5549 prepare H6437 the way, H1870 take up H7311 the stumblingblock H4383 out of the way H1870 of my people. H5971 [15] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the high H7311 and lofty One H5375 that inhabiteth H7931 eternity, H5703 whose name H8034 is Holy; H6918 I dwell H7931 in the high H4791 and holy H6918 place, with him also that is of a contrite H1793 and humble H8217 spirit, H7307 to revive H2421 the spirit H7307 of the humble, H8217 and to revive H2421 the heart H3820 of the contrite ones. H1792 [16] For I will not contend H7378 for ever, H5769 neither will I be always H5331 wroth: H7107 for the spirit H7307 should fail H5848 before H6440 me, and the souls H5397 which I have made. H6213 [17] For the iniquity H5771 of his covetousness H1215 was I wroth, H7107 and smote H5221 him: I hid H5641 me, and was wroth, H7107 and he went on H3212 frowardly H7726§ in the way H1870 of his heart. H3820 [18] I have seen H7200 his ways, H1870 and will heal H7495 him: I will lead H5148 him also, and restore H7999 comforts H5150 unto him and to his mourners. H57 [19] I create H1254 the fruit H5108 of the lips; H8193 Peace, H7965 peace H7965 to him that is far off, H7350 and to him that is near, H7138 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 and I will heal H7495 him. [20] But the wicked H7563 are like the troubled H1644 sea, H3220 when it cannot H3201 rest, H8252 whose waters H4325 cast up H1644 mire H7516 and dirt. H2916 [21] There is no peace, H7965 saith H559 my God, H430 to the wicked. H7563
