Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

They that come after him shalbe astonied at his day, as they that went before, were affrighted.

Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and hee counteth me vnto him as one of his enemies.

His troupes come together, and raise vp their way against me, and encampe round about my tabernacle.

Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauens, and his head reach vnto the clouds:

Yet he shall perish for euer, like his owne doung: they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is he?

The eye also which saw him, shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

His children shall seeke to please the poore, and his hands shall restore their goods.

His bones are ful of the sinne of his youth, which shall ye downe with him in the dust.

Though wickednes be sweet in his mouth, though hee hide it vnder his tongue;

Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keepe it stil within his mouth:

Yet his meate in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of Aspes within him.

He hath swallowed downe riches, and hee shall vomite them vp againe: God shall cast them out of his belly.

That which he laboured for, shall he restore, & shall not swallow it downe: according to his substance shall the restitution bee, and hee shall not reioyce therein.

Surely he shall not feele quietnesse in his belly, hee shall not saue of that which he desired.

There shall none of his meat be left, therefore shall no man looke for his goods.

In the fulnesse of his sufficiencie, he shalbe in straites: euery hand of the wicked shall come vpon him.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the furie of his wrath vpon him, and shall raine it vpon him while he is eating.

It is drawen, and commeth out of the body; yea the glistering sword commeth out of his gall; terrours are vpon him.
