12The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him.

13The Lord laughs at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

14The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow, to bring down the poor and needy, to slaughter those whose way is upright.

15Their sword will enter their own heart, and their bows will be broken.
