Do you truly speak the justice you were given? Do you judge the children of mankind uprightly? No, your hearts devise the violence you practice, And your hands distribute wickedness like weight. Break the teeth of lions that devour. Let the lying power melt away. Before their thorns can feel the heat beneath them, Sweep the cruel and crooked from the way. They are deaf like serpents to correction, Shutting out the wisdom of the wise. But the righteous will behold Your judgment; Every hidden balance will arise. Then the earth will know the truth it questioned: There is fruit for those who walk upright. There is surely God who judges nations, Bringing every secret deed to light.
