"They conceivemischiefand bringforthiniquity,And their mindpreparesdeception."
Then Jobanswered,
"According to whatI have seen,those who plowiniquityAnd those who sowtroubleharvestit.
"For afflictiondoes not comefrom the dust,Nordoes troublesproutfrom the ground,
Behold,he travailswith wickedness,And he conceivesmischiefand bringsforthfalsehood.
He has duga pitand hollowedit out, And has falleninto the holewhich he made.
For their mindsdeviseviolence,And their lipstalkof trouble.
You have plowedwickedness,you have reapedinjustice,You have eatenthe fruitof lies.Becauseyou have trustedin your way,in your numerouswarriors,
Woeto those who schemeiniquity,Who workout evilon their beds!When morningcomes, they doit, For it is in the powerof their hands.
Thenwhen lusthas conceived,it gives birthto sin;and when sinis accomplished,it brings forthdeath.
