    25It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

    26All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

    19The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

    20Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
