2. O death, acceptable is your sentence to a man that is needy, and that fails in strength, That is in extreme old age, and is distracted about all things, And is perverse, and has lost patience!
3. Fear not the sentence of death; Remember them that have been before you, and that come after: This is the sentence from the Lord over all flesh.
4. And why do you refuse, when it is the good pleasure of the Most High? Whether it be ten, or a hundred, or a thousand years, There is no inquisition of life in the grave.
5. The children of sinners are abominable children, And they frequent the dwellings of the ungodly.
6. The inheritance of sinners’ children shall perish, And with their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.
7. Children will complain of an ungodly father, Because they shall be reproached for his sake.
