## For the ruthless will cease ##

AT: "For there will no longer be cruel people"

## and the scoffer will vanish ##

AT: "and the people who mock will disappear"

## All those who love to do evil will be eliminated ##

AT: "Yahweh will remove all those who love to do evil"

## who by a word make a man out to be an offender ##

AT: “who say that an innocent man is guilty of doing something wrong"

## They lay a snare for him who seeks justice at the gate and put the righteous down with empty lies ##

AT: "They lie and try to stop those who want to do what is fair and right."
