²⁴ Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

³⁴ And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

²³ God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

²⁴ He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him;

²⁵ He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.

²² Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:

³⁰ Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord.

¹² Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.

¹³ But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.

³ When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
