(NIV)
‘The godless in heart harbour resentment;
even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.
“The
godless in
heart cherish anger;
they do
not cry for
help when he
binds them.
(NIV)
With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
They lay
crafty plans against your
people;
they
consult together against your
treasured ones.
(NIV)
Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honour you.
Prize her
highly, and she will
exalt you;
she will
honor you
if you
embrace her.
(NIV)
‘They will eat but not have enough;
they will engage in prostitution but not flourish,
because they have deserted the
Lord to give themselves
They shall
eat, but not be
satisfied;
they shall play the
whore, but not
multiply,
because they have
forsaken the
Lord to
cherish
