My soul is among lions;\par\tab I lie among them that are set on fire,\par\tab Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,\par\tab And their tongue a sharp sword.
And they bend their tongue, {\i as it were} their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,\par\tab They make ready their arrow upon the string,\par\tab That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.\par
There is a generation whose teeth are {\i as} swords, and their jaw teeth {\i as} knives,\par\tab To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.\par
