Let the lying lips be speechless, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.

So the king consulted, and he made two golden calves; and he said to the people,“ It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.”And he set up one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.And he made houses on high places, and appointed priests from all the people who were not of the sons of Levi.Jeroboam also instituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

But do not prophesy at Bethel any longer, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal residence.”

Worthless fellows, even those without a name, They were cast out from the land.“ And now I have become their taunt, And I have become a byword to them.They loathe me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting in my face.Because He has undone my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off the bridle before me.On the right hand their mob arises; They push aside my feet and pile up their ways of destruction against me.They break up my path, They promote my destruction; No one restrains them.As through a wide gap they come, Amid the storm they roll on.Sudden terrors are turned upon me; They chase away my dignity like the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.“ And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of misery have seized me.At night it pierces my bones within me, And my gnawing pains do not rest.By a great force my garment is distorted; It ties me up like the collar of my coat.He has thrown me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.You have become cruel to me; With the strength of Your hand You persecute me.You lift me up to the wind and make me ride it; And You dissolve me in a storm.For I know that You will bring me to death, And to the house of meeting for all living.“ Yet does one in a heap of ruins not reach out with his hand, Or in his disaster does he not cry out for help?Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard? Was my soul not grieved for the needy?When I expected good, evil came; When I waited for light, darkness came.I am seething within and cannot rest; Days of misery confront me.I go about mourning without comfort; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.I have become a brother to jackals, And a companion of ostriches.My skin turns black on me, And my bones burn with fever.Therefore my harp is turned to mourning, And my flute to the sound of those who weep.

“ Enter Bethel and do wrong; In Gilgal multiply wrongdoing! Bring your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every three days.

If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,“ He saved others; He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He takes pleasure in Him; for He said,‘ I am the Son of God.’ ”
