[1] Big man, why do you brag about the bad things you do? You are a continual disgrace to God.
[2] You make foolish plans and your tongue is as dangerous as a sharp razor. You are always lying and trying to cheat people!
[3] You love evil more than goodness. You love lying more than telling the truth. selah
[4] You and your lying tongue love to hurt people.
[5] So God will ruin you forever! He will grab you and pull you from your home, like a person pulling a plant out of the ground, roots and all!
[6] Good people will see this and will learn to fear and respect God. They will laugh at you and say,
[7] “Look what happened to the man who did not depend on God. That man thought his wealth and lies would protect him.”
[8] But I am like a green olive tree growing in God’s temple. I will trust God’s true love forever and ever.
[9] God, I praise you forever for the things you have done. I will speak your name before your followers because it is so good!
