Psalm 69:22

A Plea For Rescue

²¹ They also gave me gall for my food
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
²² May their table before them become a snare;
And when they are in peace, may it become a trap.
²³ May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see,
And make their loins shake continually.

And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Malachi 2:2

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes to see not and ears to hear not,
Down to this very day.”

“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;
for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.
