Surely he hath known no peace in his inmost mind, - With his dearest thing, shall he not get away:

Nothing escaped his devouring greed, - For this cause, shall his prosperity not continue:

When his abundance is gone, he shall be in straits, All the power of distress, shall come upon him.

It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will thrust at him the glow of his anger, and rain it upon him for his punishment.

He shall flee from the armour of iron, - There shall pierce him, a bow of bronze!

He hath drawn it out, and it hath come forth out of his back, - yea the flashing arrow-head, out of his gall, There shall march on him - terrors:

Every misfortune, is laid up for his treasures, - There shall consume, a fire, not blown up, - it shall destroy what remaineth in his tent:

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and, the earth, be rising up against him:

The increase of his house shall vanish, melting away in the day of his anger.

This, is the portion of the lawless man, from God, and the inheritance decreed him from the Mighty One.
