12They 1singH5375 to the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658 And rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the fluteH5748.13They 2spendH1086 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896, And 3suddenlyH7281 they goH5181 downH5181 to 4SheolH7585.14They sayH559 to GodH410, ‘5DepartH5493 from us! We do not even desireH2654 the knowledgeH1847 of Your waysH1870.156WhoH4100 is 7the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 Him, And 8whatH4100 would we gainH3276 ifH3588 we entreatH6293 Him?’16BeholdH2005, their prosperityH2898 is not in their handH3027; The 9counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
