12  If a man¹ does not repent, God² will ^gwhet his sword;

he has ^hbent and ⁱreadied his bow;

4  shooting from ^qambush at the blameless,

shooting at him suddenly and ^rwithout fear.

3  ^pThey bend their tongue like a bow;

falsehood and not truth has grown strong¹ in the land;

for they proceed from evil to evil,

^qand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
