The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1In my distress I cried to יהוה, And He answered me. 2יהוה, deliver my being from false lips, From a treacherous tongue. 3What would one give to you, Or what would one do to you, O treacherous tongue? 4Sharp arrows of a mighty man, With coals of the broom-wood! 5Woe to me for I have sojourned in Mesheḵ, I have dwelt among the tents of Qĕḏar! 6My being has dwelt too long With him who hates peace. 7I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for fighting. |
