13ThisH2088 is the wickedH7563 man’sH120 portionH2506 fromH5973 GodH410— the heritageH5159 the ruthlessH6184 receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706.14ThoughH518 his sonsH1121 are manyH7235, they are destined forH3926 the swordH2719; and his offspringH6631 will neverH3808 have enoughH7646 foodH3899.15His survivorsH8300 will be buriedH6912 by the plagueH4194, and their widowsH490 will notH3808 weep for themH1058.16ThoughH518 he heaps upH6651 silverH3701 like dustH6083 and piles upH3559 a wardrobeH4403 like clayH2563,17what he lays upH3559, the righteousH6662 will wearH3847, and his silverH3701 will be dividedH2505 by the innocentH5355.18The houseH1004 he builtH1129 is like a moth’s cocoonH6211, like a hutH5521 set upH6213 by a watchmanH5341.19He lies downH7901 wealthyH6223, but will do so no moreH3808H622; when he opensH6491 his eyesH5869, all is goneH369.20TerrorsH1091 overtake himH5381 like a floodH4325; a tempestH5492 sweeps him awayH1589 in the nightH3915.21The east windH6921 carries him awayH5375, and he is goneH1980; it sweeps himH8175 out of his placeH4725.22It hurls itselfH7993 against himH5921 withoutH3808 mercyH2550 as he flees headlongH1272 from its powerH3027.23It clapsH5606 its handsH3709 at himH5921 and hissesH8319 himH5921 out of his placeH4725.
