In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

They have sinned with their mouths. Their lips have spoken evil words. They have cursed me and lied. Let them be caught in their pride.

The trouble they cause comes back on them. The terrible things they do will happen to them.

Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.

Don’t let the feet of those who are proud step on me. Don’t let the hands of those who are evil drive me away.

The lies of proud people have taken away my good name. But I follow your rules with all my heart.

Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.

After that, Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, spoke to Jeremiah. And all the proud men joined them. They said,“ You are lying! The Lord our God hasn’t sent you to speak to us. He hasn’t told you to say,‘ You must not go to Egypt and make your homes there.’

Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced. They speak with pride against those who do right. They make fun of them.

The Lord will finish everything he has planned to do against Mount Zion and Jerusalem. Then he’ll say,“ Now I will punish the king of Assyria. I will punish him because his heart and his eyes are so proud.The king of Assyria says,“‘ By my power I have taken over all these nations. I am very wise. I have great understanding. I have wiped out the borders between nations. I’ve taken their treasures. Like a great hero I’ve brought their kings under my control.

I hope I will always stand firm in following your orders.

You said in your heart,‘ I will go up to the heavens. I’ll raise my throne above the stars of God. I’ll sit as king on the mountain where the gods meet. I’ll set up my throne on the highest slopes of Mount Zaphon.

“ Those who see you stare at you. They think about what has happened to you. They say to themselves,‘ Is this the man who shook the earth? Is he the one who made kingdoms tremble with fear?

Make sure that everything goes well with me. Don’t let proud people treat me badly.

Proud people do what is against your law. They dig pits for me to fall into.

Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods. See what he did to those who looked down on Israel.”

The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.The Lord is known to be fair by the things he does. Evil people are trapped by what they have done.

But you are still against my people. You will not let them go.
