⁵ "If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot has hurried to deceit

² You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

³ Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

⁴ If I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (Yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

⁵ Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

² Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

²¹ Won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

¹¹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

⁵ thus says Yahweh, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁸ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹¹ If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: 'I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;' He would be the prophet of this people.
