¹³ This `is' the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive.

¹⁹ For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.

²⁰ For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.

²¹ There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.

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.

²⁴ He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.

²⁵ One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors.

²⁶ All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.

²⁷ Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.

²⁸ Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

²⁹ This `is' the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

⁴ lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you -- doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered;

⁵ ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;

⁶ ye did condemn -- ye did murder the righteous one, he doth not resist you.

⁵ And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.

¹¹ Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

¹³ And good is not to the wicked, and he doth not prolong days as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God.

²² Rob not the poor because he `is' poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.

²³ For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

⁵ Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety `him who' doth breathe for it.

⁶ He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind `is' the portion of their cup.

³ Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?

²⁰ `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.

²¹ A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.

²² He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword.

²³ He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.

²⁴ Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.

²⁵ For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.

²⁶ He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.

²⁷ For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence.

²⁸ And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.

²⁹ He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.

³⁰ He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!

³¹ Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.

³² Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.

³³ He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.

³⁴ For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.

³⁵ To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
