Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? They eat up my people as they eat bread; they have not called upon God.

Because they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.

And I said, Hear now, O heads of Jacob, and you rulers of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know justice.

And even as they do not like to have God in their full true knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I also considered that one event happens to them all.

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, that darkness not overtake you; for he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

The earth and all its inhabitants are melting away; I have meted out its pillars. Selah.

Moreover I saw under the sun in the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
