|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 People who are proud eagerly cause poor people to suffer.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 5 But it seems that they succeed in everything that they do.

|
|
\v 7 When they talk, they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others.

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 They hide in villages, ready to attack innocent people.
|
|
\q2 They constantly search for people who will not be able to resist them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 They are like lions that crouch down and hide,
|
|
\q2 waiting to pounce on some animal.
|
|
\q2 They are like hunters who catch helpless people like animals with a net and then drag them away.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Just like helpless animals that are crushed,
|
|
\q2 people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people overpower them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1

\v 14 But you see the trouble and the distress that they cause.
|

|
|
\q2 and you help orphans, also.
