¹¹ Thus shall you⌃ say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky.

⁴ Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed.

¹² [Are] not you from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, you have established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten [with] his correction.

²² And if there be sin in any one, [and] the judgment of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and you⌃ hang him on a tree: ²³ his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you⌃ shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and you⌃ shall by no means defile the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
