God

Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.

It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.

Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.

Their houses are peace without fear, Nor is a rod of God upon them.

And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.

What is the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'

How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.

God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him--and he knoweth.

His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh.

To God doth one teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?

To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?

Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?

Because of thy reverence Doth He reason with thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:

Is not God high in heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.

And thou hast said, `What--hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?

Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,

Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?

And he hath filled their houses with good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)

Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase is good.

Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.

If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.

And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver is strength to thee.

For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,

Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
