7:9 May the evil deeds of the wicked 1 come to an end! 2
But make the innocent 3 secure, 4
O righteous God,
you who examine 5 inner thoughts and motives! 6
7:2 Otherwise they will rip 7 me 8 to shreds like a lion;
they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me. 9
21:15 After these days we got ready 16 and started up 17 to Jerusalem.
2:34 Even your clothes are stained with
the lifeblood of the poor who had not done anything wrong;
you did not catch them breaking into your homes. 18
Yet, in spite of all these things you have done, 19
1:12 At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps.
I will punish the people who are entrenched in their sin, 20
those who think to themselves, 21
‘The Lord neither rewards nor punishes.’ 22
