“But the ungodly,
By their words,
By their deeds,
Summoned death.
They considered him a friend.
They pined away.
They made a covenant with him,
Because they are fit
To belong to his company.”
The ungodly (Ασεβεῖς) summon death by their words and deeds. They think that death is a friend so that they made a covenant (συνθήκην) with death. They were certainly fit to belong to the company of the dead.
