¹⁹ Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol `those who' have sinned.

¹⁴ As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form `is' for consumption. Sheol `is' a dwelling for him.

¹³ They wear out in good their days, And in a moment `to' Sheol go down.

²² `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

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?

⁴ But `to' him who is joined unto all the living there is confidence, for to a living dog it `is' better than to the dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten.

⁶ Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in all that hath been done under the sun.

³² In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death `is' the righteous.

² As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

⁸ As a snail that melteth he goeth on, `As' an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.

⁹ Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.

³² And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.

³³ Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.

³⁴ And how do ye comfort me `with' vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?

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

¹⁵ My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away.

¹⁶ That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide itself.

¹⁷ By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its being hot they have been Extinguished from their place.
