Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

The verse 4 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

An wem wollt ihr nun eure Lust haben? Über wen wollt ihr nun das Maul aufsperren und die Zunge herausrecken? Seid ihr nicht die Kinder der Übertretung und ein falscher Same,
¿De quién os habéis mofado? ¿contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
De qui vous moquez-vous? Contre qui ouvrez-vous une large bouche Et tirez-vous la langue? N'êtes-vous pas des enfants de péché, Une race de mensonge,
Sopra cui vi sollazzate voi? sopra cui allargate la bocca, ed allungate la lingua? non siete voi figliuoli di misfatto, progenie di falsità?
De quem fazeis o vosso passatempo? Contra quem escancarais a boca, e deitais para fora a língua? Porventura não sois filhos da transgressão, descendência da falsidade,
你們向誰戲笑? 向誰張口吐舌呢? 你們豈不是叛逆所生的兒女, 虛謊所生的後代嗎?
