7. Let my enemy be like the wrongdoer, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8. For what is the expectancy of the defiled one, when He does cut off, when Eloah takes away his life?
9. Would Ěl hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10. Would he delight himself in the Almighty – call on Eloah at all times?
11. Let me teach you by the hand of Ěl, that which is with the Almighty I do not hide.
12. See, all of you have seen it. Why then are you altogether vain?
13. This is the portion of a wrong man with Ěl, and the inheritance of cruel ones, which they receive from the Almighty:
14. If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have enough to eat.
15. Those who remain of him are buried in death, and their widows do not weep.
16. Though he heaps up silver like dust, and lays up garments like clay –
17. he lays up, but the righteous puts it on, and the innocent divides the silver.
18. He built his house like a moth, like a booth which a watchman made.
19. He lies down, a rich man, but he is not gathered. When he opens his eyes, it is no more!
