8For whatH4100 is 1the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 2whenH3588 he is cutH1214 offH1214, WhenH3588 GodH433 requiresH7953 3his 4lifeH5315?9Will GodH410 5hearH8085 his cryH6818 WhenH3588 6distressH6869 comesH935 upon him?10Will he takeH6026 7delightH6026 in the AlmightyH7706? Will he callH7121 on GodH433 at allH3605 timesH6256?11I will instructH3384 you in the 8powerH3027 of GodH410; WhatH834 is with the AlmightyH7706 I will not concealH3582.12BeholdH2005, allH3605 of you have seenH2372 it; WhyH4100 thenH2088 do you 9actH1891 foolishlyH1891?

13“ThisH2088 is 10the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH410, And the inheritanceH5159 which 11tyrantsH6184 receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706.14ThoughH518 his sonsH1121 are manyH7235, 12they are destined 13for the swordH2719; And his 14descendantsH6631 will not be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.15His survivorsH8300 will be buriedH6912 because of the plagueH4194, And 15their 16widowsH490 will not be able to weepH1058.16ThoughH518 he pilesH6651 up silverH3701 like dustH6083 And preparesH3559 garmentsH4403 as plentiful as the clayH2563,17He may prepareH3559 it, 17but the justH6662 will wearH3847 it And the innocentH5355 will divideH2505 the silverH3701.18He has builtH1129 his 18houseH1004 like the 19spider’s web, Or as a hutH5521 which the watchmanH5341 has madeH6213.19He liesH7901 downH7901 richH6223, but neverH3808 20againH622; He opensH6491 his eyesH5869, and 21it is noH369 longerH369.2022TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like a floodH4325; A tempestH5492 stealsH1589 him awayH1589 23in the nightH3915.21The eastH6921 24windH6921 carriesH5375 him away, and he is goneH1980, For it whirlsH8175 him 25awayH8175 from his placeH4725.22For it will hurlH7993 at him 26withoutH3808 sparingH2550; He will surelyH1272 try to 27fleeH1272 from its 28powerH3027.23Men will clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him And will 29hissH8319 him from his placeH4725.
