⁴ But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.

⁴ But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove [1] with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

⁴ But with righteousness He will judge the poor , And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth ; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth , And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked .
