  • Lord, ... your eyes are too pure to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
  • For the stone will cry out from the wall, ... "Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity!"
