But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,
as the streams that overflow

My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential streams that pass away,

No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.

Indeed none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

show no mercy to wicked traitors.

You,  Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil.  Selah

If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

as unreliable as a faulty bow.

but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;

for they do not obey your word.

I look at the faithless with disgust,
because they do not keep your commands.

but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.

The righteousness of the upright delivers them,

but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

The eyes of the  Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he overthrows the words of the traitor.

Like a bandit she lies in wait
and multiplies the unfaithful among men.

She lies in wait like a robber
and increases the traitors among mankind.

Like a broken tooth or a lame foot

is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.

with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”

Woe to you, destroyer,
you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, betrayer,
you who have not been betrayed!

they will betray you.

Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth.

For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously,
and that from before birth you were called a rebel.

The people of Israel and the people of Judah
have been utterly unfaithful to me,’
declares the  Lord.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah

Oh, that I had in the desert
a lodging place for travellers,
so that I might leave my people
and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,
a crowd of unfaithful people.

Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers’ lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all adulterers,
a company of treacherous men.

You are always righteous,  Lord,
when I bring a case before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the faithless live at ease?

Righteous are you, O  Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all who are treacherous thrive?

Your relatives, members of your own family –
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.

For even your brothers and the house of your father,
even they have dealt treacherously with you;
they are in full cry after you;
do not believe them,
though they speak friendly words to you.”

tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
there is no one to comfort her.

They have dealt faithlessly with the  Lord;
for they have borne alien children.
Now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.

As at Adam, they have broken the covenant;
they were unfaithful to me there.

But like Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.

Your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
why do you idly look at traitors
and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?

indeed, wine betrays him;
he is arrogant and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive all the peoples.

“Moreover, wine is a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

‘The man who hates and divorces his wife,’ says the  Lord, the God of Israel, ‘does violence to the one he should protect,’ says the  Lord Almighty.
