27“BeholdH2005, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, And the plotsH4209 you deviseH2554 againstH5921 me.28For you sayH559, ‘WhereH346 is the houseH1004 of 9the noblemanH5081, And whereH346 is the 10tentH168, the dwellingH4908 placesH4908 of the wickedH7563?’29Have you not askedH7592 travelersH5674 H1870, And do you not examineH5234 their 11evidenceH226?30For the 12wickedH7451 personH7451 is sparedH2820 13a dayH3117 of disasterH343; They 14are ledH2986 away from 15a dayH3117 of furyH5678.31WhoH4310 16confrontsH5046 H5921 H6440 him with his actionsH1870, And whoH4310 repaysH7999 him for what he has doneH6213?32When he is carriedH2986 to the graveH6913, People will keepH8245 watchH8245 overH5921 his tombH1430.33The 17clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 will 18gentlyH4985 coverH4985 him; Moreover, 19allH3605 mankindH120 will 20followH4900 afterH310 him, While countlessH369 H4557 others go beforeH6440 him.
