¹⁹ Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.

⁴ Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.

²¹ Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of the righteous hath escaped.

³ your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye made treasure in the last days!

¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold, Is not able to deliver them in a day of the wrath of Jehovah, And in the fire of His jealousy consumed is the whole land, For only a hastened end doth He make Of all the inhabitants of the land!

³⁶ And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and `men' rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them `are' dead corpses.

²⁰ In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,

² Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.

¹⁶ The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

¹⁷ A false thing `is' the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

²⁰ `In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.

¹³ God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.
