And departing from our God,

For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.

And he who departs from evil makes himself a (B)prey.

That there was no justice.

The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge;
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes;
Now shall be their perplexity.

Do not put your confidence in a companion;
Guard the doors of your mouth
From her who lies in your (D)bosom.

4 Hear the word of the Lord,
You children of Israel,
For the Lord brings a (A)charge[a] against the inhabitants of the land:
“There is no truth or mercy
Or (B)knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing and lying,
Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
They break all restraint,
With bloodshed [b]upon bloodshed.
3 Therefore (C)the land will mourn;
And (D)everyone who dwells there will waste away
With the beasts of the field
And the birds of the air;
Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.

And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
