¹⁹ Would your wealth sustain you in distress, Or all the might of your strength?

⁴ Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.

²¹ Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.

³ Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

³⁶ The angel of Yahweh went forth, and struck in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

²⁰ In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver, And their idols of gold, Which have been made for themselves to worship, To the moles and to the bats;

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death.

¹⁶ There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.

²⁰ In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, The mighty are taken away without hand.

¹³ "God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
