I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister.

[and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;

The memory of the just is praised, but the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.

And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and [that] out of the holy place. And they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus. This also is vanity.

But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up; therefore You have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;

For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.

it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.

His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above.

Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out.

Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit- let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.

But even now, the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
