Psalms 41:5-8

⁵My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”

⁶When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.

⁷In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.

⁸“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”
