Psalms 55:12-15

12For it is 1not an enemy who taunts me, Then I could endure it; Nor is it one who hates me who 2has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.13But it is you, a man 3my equal, My 4companion and my 5confidant;14We who had sweet 6fellowship together, 7Walked in the house of God among the commotion.15May 8death come 9deceitfully upon them; May they 10go down alive to 11Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.
