The Portion of the Wicked

13

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.

14

If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.

15

His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.

16

Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,

17

He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.

18

He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.

19

When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.

20

Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.

21

The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.

22

And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.

23

Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.
