| # Chapter 58
| To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
| Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
| The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
| Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
| Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
| O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
| They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
| As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
| Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
| The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
| And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
