I hope that all my enemies will be ashamed and embarrassed.\par Those people were happy when bad things happened to me.\par They thought they were better than me!\par So let those people be covered with shame and humiliation.\par
I have more enemies\par than the hairs on my head.\par They hate me for no reason.\par They try hard to destroy me.\par My enemies tell lies about me.\par They lied and said I stole things.\par And then they forced me to pay\par for things I did not steal.\par
Proud Babylon will stumble and fall.\par And no person will help her get up.\par I will start a fire in her towns.\par That fire will completely burn\par everyone around her.”\par
But if you are punished for doing wrong, there is no reason to praise you for bearing that punishment. But if you suffer for doing good, and you are patient, then that pleases God.
