Psalms 13:4

Will not all the workers of iniquity know, 1 Who eat up my people as they would eat bread? 1 They have not called upon the Lord. 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

In Context

3They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, 1 There is none that does good, no not one. 1 Their throat is an open sepulcher; 1 With their tongues they have used deceit; 1 The poison of asps is under their lips: 1 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; 1 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 1 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 1 And the way of peace they have not known: 1 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 1

5There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; 1 For God is in the righteous generation. 1
