¹² His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.

⁵ Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.

³⁶ Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.

²³ He is wandering about in search of bread, saying, Where is it? and he is certain that the day of trouble is ready for him:

²⁴ He is greatly in fear of the dark day, trouble and pain overcome him:

¹² If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

¹³ He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

¹⁴ That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

¹⁰ The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.

¹⁰ Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.

²¹ And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;

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.

³ And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.
