How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!

Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;

rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

The arrogant and proud person, named “Mocker,”

acts with excessive arrogance.

Drive out a mocker, and conflict goes too;

then quarreling and dishonor will cease.

A foolish scheme is sin,

and a mocker is detestable to people.

Mockers inflame a city,

but the wise turn away anger.

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat

and opens wide its enormous jaws,

and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,

her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!

I will rescue you from the power of evil people

and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.

I will hand these things over

to foreigners as plunder

and to the wicked of the earth as spoil,

and they will profane them.

“But suppose the man has a violent son, who sheds blood and does any of these things,

“I am about to bring strangers against you,

ruthless men from the nations.

They will draw their swords

against your magnificent wisdom

and will pierce your splendor.

“He along with his people,

ruthless men from the nations,

will be brought in to destroy the land.

They will draw their swords against Egypt

and fill the land with the slain.

“Foreigners, ruthless men from the nations, cut it down and left it lying. Its limbs fell on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. All the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.

“I will make your hordes fall

by the swords of warriors,

all of them ruthless men from the nations.

They will ravage Egypt’s pride,

and all its hordes will be destroyed.

“In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves to fulfill a vision, but they will fail.

On the day of our king,

the princes are sick with the heat of wine —

there is a conspiracy with traitors.[fn]

The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness:

Look, the days are coming[fn]

when you will be taken away with hooks,

every last one of you with fishhooks.
