¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we hear songs:
The Splendor of the Righteous One.^(A)
But I said, “I waste away! I waste away!^[a]
Woe is me.”
The treacherous act treacherously;
the treacherous deal very treacherously.^(B)

33 Woe, you destroyer never destroyed,
you traitor never betrayed!
When you have finished destroying,
you will be destroyed.
When you have finished betraying,
they will betray you.^(A)

12 You will be righteous, Lord,^(A)
even if I bring a case against you.
Yet, I wish to contend with you:^(B)
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?^(C)
Why do all the treacherous live at ease?
