But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them.

27 look! to know plot your and plot upon me to injure

So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me:

28 for to say where? house: home noble and where? tent tabernacle wicked

so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly?

How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation.
