¹² If a man^[a] does not repent, God^[b] will ^(A)whet his sword;
    he has ^(B)bent and ^(C)readied his bow;

⁴ shooting from ^(A)ambush at the blameless,
    shooting at him suddenly and ^(B)without fear.

^3 (A)They bend their tongue like a bow;
    falsehood and not truth has grown strong^[a] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
    ^(B)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
