[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 you a covenant 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.”
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.

[1] The righteousH6662 perisheth,H6(QalPerf) and no manH376 layethH7760(QalActPtc) [it] to heart:H3820 and mercifulH2617 menH582 [are] taken away,H622(NiphPtc) none consideringH995(HiphPtc) that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622(NiphPerf) fromH6440 the evilH7451 [to come]. [2] He shall enterH935(QalImpf) into peace:H7965 they shall restH5117(QalImpf) in their beds,H4904 [each one] walkingH1980(QalActPtc) [in] his uprightness.H5228 [3] But draw nearH7126(QalImpv) hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceress,H6049(PoelPtc) the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003(PielPtc) and the whore.H2181(QalImpf) [4] Against whom do ye sportH6026(HithImpf) yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337(HiphImpf) mouth,H6310 [and] draw outH748(HiphImpf) the tongue?H3956 [are] ye not childrenH3206 of transgression,H6588 a seedH2233 of falsehood,H8267 [5] EnflamingH2552(NiphPtc) yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 tree,H6086 slayingH7819(QalActPtc) the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocks?H5553 [6] Among the smoothH2511 [stones] of the streamH5158 [is] thy portion;H2506 they, they [are] thy lot:H1486 even to them hast thou pouredH8210(QalPerf) a drink offering,H5262 thou hast offeredH5927(HiphPerf) a meat offering.H4503 Should I receive comfortH5162(NiphImpf) in these? [7] Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375(NiphPtc) mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760(QalPerf) thy bed:H4904 even thither wentest thou upH5927(QalPerf) to offerH2076(QalInf) sacrifice.H2077 [8] BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760(QalPerf) thy remembrance:H2146 for thou hast discoveredH1540(PielPerf) [thyself to another] than me, and art gone up;H5927(QalImpf) thou hast enlargedH7337(HiphPerf) thy bed,H4904 and madeH3772(QalImpf) thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedstH157(QalPerf) their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372(QalPerf) [it]. [9] And thou wentestH7788(QalImpf) to the kingH4428 with ointment,H8081 and didst increaseH7235(HiphImpf) thy perfumes,H7547 and didst sendH7971(PielImpf) thy messengersH6735 far off,H7350 and didst debaseH8213(HiphImpf) [thyself even] unto hell.H7585 [10] Thou art weariedH3021(QalPerf) in the greatnessH7230 of thy way;H1870 [yet] saidstH559(QalPerf) thou not, There is no hope:H2976(NiphPtc) thou hast foundH4672(QalPerf) the lifeH2416 of thine hand;H3027 therefore thou wast not grieved.H2470(QalPerf) [11] And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672(QalPerf) or feared,H3372(QalImpf) that thou hast lied,H3576(PielImpf) and hast not rememberedH2142(QalPerf) me, nor laidH7760(QalPerf) [it] to thy heart?H3820 have not I held my peaceH2814(HiphPtc) even of old,H5769 and thou fearestH3372(QalImpf) me not? [12] I will declareH5046(HiphImpf) thy righteousness,H6666 and thy works;H4639 for they shall not profitH3276(HiphImpf) thee. [13] When thou criest,H2199(QalInf) let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337(HiphImpf) thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all away;H5375(QalImpf) vanityH1892 shall takeH3947(QalImpf) [them]: but he that putteth his trustH2620(QalActPtc) in me shall possessH5157(QalImpf) the land,H776 and shall inheritH3423(QalImpf) my holyH6944 mountain;H2022 [14] And shall say,H559(QalPerf) Cast ye up,H5549(QalImpv) cast ye up,H5549(QalImpv) prepareH6437(PielImpv) the way,H1870 take upH7311(HiphImpv) the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my people.H5971 [15] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the highH7311(QalActPtc) and lofty OneH5375(NiphPtc) that inhabitethH7931(QalActPtc) eternity,H5703 whose nameH8034 [is] Holy;H6918 I dwellH7931(QalImpf) in the highH4791 and holyH6918 [place], with him also [that is] of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spirit,H7307 to reviveH2421(HiphInf) the spiritH7307 of the humble,H8217 and to reviveH2421(HiphInf) the heartH3820 of the contrite ones.H1792(NiphPtc) [16] For I will not contendH7378(QalImpf) for ever,H5769 neither will I be alwaysH5331 wroth:H7107(QalImpf) for the spiritH7307 should failH5848(QalImpf) beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 [which] I have made.H6213(QalPerf) [17] For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wroth,H7107(QalPerf) and smoteH5221(HiphImpf) him: I hidH5641(HiphInf) me, and was wroth,H7107(QalImpf) and he went onH3212(QalImpf) frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heart.H3820 [18] I have seenH7200(QalPerf) his ways,H1870 and will healH7495(QalImpf) him: I will leadH5148(HiphImpf) him also, and restoreH7999(PielImpf) comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mourners.H57 [19] I createH1254(QalActPtc) the fruitH5108 of the lips;H8193 Peace,H7965 peaceH7965 to [him that is] far off,H7350 and to [him that is] near,H7138 saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 and I will healH7495(QalPerf) him. [20] But the wickedH7563 [are] like the troubledH1644(NiphPtc) sea,H3220 when it cannotH3201(QalImpf) rest,H8252(HiphInf) whose watersH4325 cast upH1644(QalImpf) mireH7516 and dirt.H2916 [21] [There is] no peace,H7965 saithH559(QalPerf) my God,H430 to the wicked.H7563
