2 Woe to those who devise iniquity,
And ^[a]work out evil on their beds!
At ^(A)morning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.

^4 (A)He devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself ^(B)in a way that is not good;
He does not ^[a]abhor ^(C)evil.

⁷ Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with ^(A)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

¹¹ From you comes forth one
Who plots evil against the Lord,
A ^[a]wicked counselor.

⁶ They prepare their heart like an oven,
While they lie in wait;
^[a]Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
⁷ They are all hot, like an oven,
And have devoured their judges;
All their kings have fallen.
^(A)None among them calls upon Me.

¹² A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
^13 (A)He winks with his eyes,
He ^[a]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
¹⁴ Perversity is in his heart,
^(B)He devises evil continually,
^(C)He sows discord.
¹⁵ Therefore his calamity shall come ^(D)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall ^(E)be broken ^(F)without remedy.
