Thus said Shim`i when he cursed, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and base fellow:
There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, It is for Sha'ul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Giv`onim.
If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn't serve him.
and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
*Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.*
Though men be risen up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.
