3 How long will you assault a man, Would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
"How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.
"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, And fools hate knowledge?
Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?

Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction. How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors. As a dream when one wakes up, So, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant. He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a broken piece with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, Yet they plot evil against me.
