9Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.

13But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

14We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

15Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
