Open this scene in the reader →7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression; under his tongue are trouble and wickedness.
8He sits in ambush in the villages; in the hiding places he kills the innocent; his eyes watch stealthily for the helpless.
9He lies in wait in hiding, like a lion in his shelter; he lies in wait to seize the poor; he seizes the poor by dragging him into his net.
10He crouches and lies low, and the helpless fall by his might.
11He says in his heart, “God has forgotten; he has hidden his face; he will never see.”
