Behold, he travails with wickedness,
And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.
“They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity,
And their mind prepares deception.”
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
“You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble;
My breath will consume you like a fire.
“The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.
No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly.
They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
