The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke Ěl are complacent, to him who brings Eloah into his hand!
Earth has been given into the hand of the wrong. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
They are enclosed in their own fat, They speak proudly with their mouths,
Rĕsh I have seen the wrongdoer in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree.
I have seen it all in my days of futility: There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong one living long in his evil.
There is a futility which has been done on earth, that there are righteous ones who get according to the deeds of the wrong. And there are wrong ones who get according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this too is futile.
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the set-apart ones, so that the living know that the Most High is ruler in the reign of men, and gives it to whomever He wishes, and sets over it the lowest of men.’
You, whose eyes are too clean to see evil, You are not able to look on wrong. Why do You look on those who act treacherously – keep silent when the wrong devours one more righteous than he?
