The Portion of the Wicked

13

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

14

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

15

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

16

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

17

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

18

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

19

The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

20

Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

21

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

22

For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

23

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
