¹³ but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong `his' days, `which are' as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in `his' life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

¹¹ Woe unto the wicked! `it shall be' ill `with him'; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.

³ And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

¹⁴ whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

²⁹ and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

⁴⁹ So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,

⁵⁰ and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹⁸ Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

²¹ There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

¹³ therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.

⁴ Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

²³ But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. `A Psalm' of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.

⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days `as' handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

⁵ Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

³⁰ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

⁵ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

⁵ Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope.

⁷ Oh remember that my life is a breath: Mine eye shall no more see good.
