Do not seek death with the twistedness of your ways, and do not bring about annihilation with the action of your hands.
For YHWH has not chosen death, and He does not desire the annihilation of life.
To support them forever has He created them, and the peace of the peoples of the earth is in their hands; the venom of annihilation is not between them, and the netherworld is not on the dust of His regin.
For righteousness will not die, but the yield of wickedness is death.
Which the wicked brought about by their words and their exploits, as on a friend did they trust in it [i.e. death], and they met their end and ceased from it, with it they were among the conspirators, and their future is to be with it.
