⁵ If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,

² Sons of men! till when `is' my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. Selah.

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

⁴ If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

⁵ An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

² Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,

²¹ Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

¹¹ Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied `with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,

⁵ Thus said Jehovah: What -- have your fathers found in Me perversity, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after the vanity, and become vain,

⁸ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I `am' against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹¹ If one is going `with' the wind, And `with' falsehood hath lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of this people!
