8For whatH4100 is 1the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 whenH3588 he makesH1214 anH1214 endH1214 of life, WhenH3588 GodH433 requiresH7592 2his 3lifeH5315?9Will GodH410 4hearH8085 his cryH6818 WhenH3588 5distressH6869 comesH935 upon him?10OrH518 will he takeH6026 6pleasureH6026 in the AlmightyH7706? Will he callH7121 on GodH433 at allH3605 timesH6256?11I will instructH3384 you in the 7powerH3027 of GodH410; WhatH834 is with the AlmightyH7706 I will not concealH3582.12BeholdH2005, allH3605 of you have seenH2372 it; WhyH4100 thenH2088 do you talkH1891 ofH1891 nothingH1891H1892?

13“ThisH2088 is 8the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 personH120 from GodH410, And the inheritanceH5159 which 9tyrantsH6184 receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706:14ThoughH518 his sonsH1121 areH7235 manyH7235, 10they are destined 11for the swordH2719; And his 12descendantsH6631 will not beH7646 satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.15His survivorsH8300 will be buriedH6912 because of the plagueH4194, And 13their 14widowsH490 will not be able to weepH1058.16ThoughH518 he pilesH6651 upH6651 silverH3701 like dustH6083, And preparesH3559 garmentsH4403 as plentiful as the clayH2563,17He may prepareH3559 it, 15but the righteousH6662 will wearH3847 it And the innocentH5355 will divideH2505 the silverH3701.18He has builtH1129 his 16houseH1004 like the 17spider’s web, Or a hutH5521 which the watchmanH5341 has madeH6213.19He liesH7901 downH7901 richH6223, but neverH3808 18againH3254; He opensH6491 his eyesH5869, and 19it noH369 longer existsH369.2020TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like a floodH4325; A stormH5492 stealsH1589 him awayH1589 21in the nightH3915.21The eastH6921 22windH6921 carriesH5375 him away, and he is goneH1980; For it sweepsH8175 him 23awayH8175 from his placeH4725.22For it will hurlH7993 at him 24withoutH3808 mercyH2550; He will certainlyH1272 try to 25fleeH1272 from its 26powerH3027.23People will 27clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him, And will 28whistleH8319 at him from their placesH4725.
