Open saved chapters

For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.

If ye do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

For ye work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.

Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.

Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;

which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.

God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.

They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.

They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.

Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

And a man shall say, then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
