They [b]talk of (A)setting snares secretly;
They say, “(B)Who can see them?”
They [c]devise injustices, saying,
“We are [d]ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the [e](C)inward thought and the heart of a person are [f]deep.

But (D)God [g]will shoot an arrow at them;
Suddenly [h]they will be wounded.
