Hegesippus
Hegesippus
[For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.]
[1]If ye do indeed speak righteousness, then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men. [No book]
[2]For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness. [No book]
[3]Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies. [No book]
[4]Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears; [No book]
[5]which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor heed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise. [No book]
[6]God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions. [No book]
[7]They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail. [No book]
[8]They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun. [No book]
[9]Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath. [No book]
[10]The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. [No book]
[11]And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth. [No book]
