¹⁹Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant.

¹³These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹⁴For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

¹⁵And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

¹⁶But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

⁷Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

⁸Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

⁹Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

¹⁰Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

¹¹They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

¹²They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

¹³They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

¹⁴Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹⁵What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

¹⁶Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁷How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

¹⁸They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

¹⁹God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

²⁰His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

²¹For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

²²Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

²³One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

²⁴His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

²⁵And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.

²⁶They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

²⁷Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

²⁸For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

²⁹Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

³⁰That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

³¹Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

³²Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

³³The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

³⁴How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

^7*Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power?

⁸Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

⁹Their houses are ^†safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them.

¹⁰Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.

¹¹They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance.

¹²They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe.

¹³They spend their daies ^‖in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue.

^14*Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.

¹⁵What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him?

¹⁶Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.

¹⁷How oft is the ^‖candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger.

¹⁸They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme ^†carieth away.

¹⁹God layeth vp his ^†iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

²⁰His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.

²¹For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his moneths is cut off in the middest?

²²Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he iudgeth those that are high.

²³One dieth ^†in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

²⁴His ^‖breasts are full of milke, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

²⁵And another dieth in the bitternesse of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.

²⁶They shall lie downe alike in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.

²⁷Behold, I know your thoughts, and the deuices which yee wrongfully imagine against me.

²⁸For ye say, where is the house of the prince? and where are ^†the dwelling places of the wicked?

²⁹Haue ye not asked them that goe by the way? and doe ye not know their tokens?

^30*That the wicked is reserued to the day of destruction; they shall bee brought foorth to ^†the day of wrath.

³¹Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

³²Yet shall hee be brought to the ^†graue, & shall ^†remaine in the tombe.

³³The cloudes of the valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

³⁴How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaineth ^†falshood?
