Breakthe armof the wickedand the evildoer,Seekout his wickednessuntil You findnone.
"From the wickedtheir lightis withheld,And the upliftedarmis broken.
Arise,O LORD;saveme, O my God!For You have smittenallmy enemieson the cheek;You have shatteredthe teethof the wicked.
For the armsof the wickedwill be broken,But the LORDsustainsthe righteous.
Olet the evilof the wickedcometo an end,but establishthe righteous;For the righteousGodtriesthe heartsand minds.
"Alsoon your skirtsis foundThe lifebloodof the innocentpoor;You did not findthem breakingin. But in spiteof allthesethings,
Thus I will make lewdnessceasefrom the land,that allwomenmay be admonishedand not commitlewdnessas you have done.
"It will comeabout at that timeThat I will searchJerusalemwith lamps,And I will punishthe menWho are stagnantin spirit,Who sayin their hearts,'The LORDwill not dogoodor evil!'
"Woeto the worthlessshepherdWho leavesthe flock!A swordwill be on his armAnd on his righteye!His armwill be totallywitheredAnd his righteyewill be blind."
