⁷ Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous standeth.

²⁴ `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

²⁷ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'

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

²⁵ As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.

³ By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it establisheth itself.

⁴ And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, `With' all precious and pleasant wealth.

²⁵ The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.

¹¹ The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.

¹ Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish with her hands breaketh it down.

¹⁸ Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast caused them to fall to desolations.

¹⁹ How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended -- consumed from terrors.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

³⁷ Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each `is' peace.

¹⁰ And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

²⁵ Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.

¹⁸ He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.

¹⁹ Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not.

²⁰ Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.

²¹ Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place,

²² And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth.

²³ It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.

¹⁵ It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

¹⁶ From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

¹⁷ His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.

¹⁸ They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

¹⁹ He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

²⁰ At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.

²⁰ And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope `is' a breathing out of soul!

³ I -- I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway,

⁴ Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

¹⁴ And the king saith -- `to be done so;' and a law is given in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman they have hanged.

⁶ and in Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men;

⁷ and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

⁸ and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

⁹ and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

¹⁰ ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.

²⁶ And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts `is' God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,

¹⁶ and stedfast `is' thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'
