4 Why do you brag of evil, "Big Man"?God's mercy carries the day.You scheme catastrophe;your tongue cuts razor-sharp,artisan in lies.You love evil more than good,you call black white.You love malicious gossip,you foul-mouth.
5 God will tear you limb from limb,sweep you up and throw you out,Pull you up by the rootsfrom the land of life.

7 Good people will watch andworship. They'll laugh in relief:"Big Man bet on the wrong horse,trusted in big money,made his living from catastrophe."
8 And I'm an olive tree,growing green in God's house.I trusted in the generous mercyof God then and now.
9 I thank you alwaysthat you went into action.And I'll stay right here,your good name my hope,in company with your faithful friends.
