²³ This `one' dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet.

²² In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.

²³ 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.

¹⁷ For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.

⁴ And their might `is' firm.

⁵ In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men they are not plagued.

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

²¹ so `is' he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'
