Though he spare it and forsake it not, but keep it still in his mouth;

Yet his food in his stomach is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

The riches which he had swallowed down, he shall vomit up out of his belly; and God shall destroy him.

Because he knew no justice himself, he shall not be spared by his covetousness.

There shall none of his posterity be spared; therefore his good will not be remembered.

May his posterity go to destruction, may God cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and deluge him while he wars against him.

It is drawn, and it brings forth his inward parts; and the skin of his gall shall be pierced; terror shall be upon him continually.

All darkness is kept in store for his posterity; a blazing fire shall consume him; and the one who is left in his tent shall be destroyed.

The heaven shall reveal his sins; and the earth avenge itself upon him.

The foundations of his house shall be left bare and he shall be scourged in the day of his wrath.

How often is it that the wicked are left without an heir! how often their destruction comes upon them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.

God reserves mans iniquity for his children; he pays it back to him, and he shall know it.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when a portion of his years shall be reserved for his posterity?

One dies in his full strength, sound of body, being wholly confident, and at ease.

His body is full of fat, and his bones are filled with marrow.

And another dies in the bitterness of his soul, never having tasted prosperity.

For you say. Where is the house of the righteous? And where is the place in which the wicked has pitched his tent?

Receive the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

The innocent man shall be spared wherever he is, and he shall escape by the purity of his hands.
