7 H7563 Why do the wicked H2421 [H8799] live H6275 [H8804] , become old H1396 [H8804] , and, are mighty H2428 in power?

8 H2233 Their seed H3559 [H8737] is established H6440 in their sight H6631 with them, and their offspring H5869 before their eyes.

9 H1004 Their houses H7965 are safe H6343 from fear H7626 , neither is the rod H433 of God upon them.

10 H7794 Their bull H5674 [H8765] gendereth H1602 [H8686] , and faileth H6510 not; their cow H6403 [H8762] calveth H7921 [H8762] , and casteth not her calf.

11 H7971 [H8762] They send forth H5759 their little ones H6629 like a flock H3206 , and their children H7540 [H8762] dance.

12 H5375 [H8799] They take H8596 the timbrel H3658 and harp H8055 [H8799] , and rejoice H6963 at the sound H5748 of the flute.

13 H3615 H1086 [H8762] They spend H3117 their days H2896 in wealth H7281 , and in a moment H2865 H5181 [H8735] go down H7585 to the grave.

14 H559 [H8799] Therefore they say H410 to God H5493 [H8798] , Depart H2654 [H8804] from us; for we desire H1847 not the knowledge H1870 of thy ways.

15 H7706 Who is the Almighty H5647 [H8799] , that we should serve H3276 [H8686] him? and what profit H6293 [H8799] should we have, if we pray to him?

16 H2898 Lo, their good H3027 is not in their hand H6098 : the counsel H7563 of the wicked H7368 [H8804] is far from me.

17 H5216 How oft is the lamp H7563 of the wicked H1846 [H8799] put out H935 [H8799] ! and how oft cometh H343 their destruction H2505 [H8762] upon them! God distributeth H2256 sorrows H639 in his anger.

18 H8401 They are as stubble H6440 before H7307 the wind H4671 , and as chaff H5492 that the storm H1589 [H8804] carrieth away.

19 H433 God H6845 [H8799] layeth up H205 his iniquity H1121 for his children H7999 [H8762] : he rewardeth H3045 [H8799] him, and he shall know it.

20 H5869 His eyes H7200 [H8799] shall see H3589 his destruction H8354 [H8799] , and he shall drink H2534 of the wrath H7706 of the Almighty.

21 H2656 For what pleasure H1004 hath he in his house H310 after H4557 him, when the number H2320 of his months H2686 [H8795] is cut off in the midst?

22 H3925 [H8762] Shall any teach H410 God H1847 knowledge H8199 [H8799] ? seeing he judgeth H7311 [H8802] those that are high.

23 H4191 [H8799] One dieth H8537 in his full H6106 strength H7946 , being wholly at ease H7961 and quiet.

24 H5845 His breasts H4390 [H8804] are full H2461 of milk H6106 , and his bones H8248 [H8792] are moistened H4221 with marrow.

25 H4191 [H8799] And another dieth H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of his soul H398 [H8804] , and never eateth H2896 with pleasure.

26 H7901 [H8799] They shall lie down H3162 alike H6083 in the dust H7415 , and the worms H3680 [H8762] shall cover them.

27 H3045 [H8804] Behold, I know H4284 your thoughts H4209 , and the devices H2554 [H8799] which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

28 H559 [H8799] For ye say H1004 , Where is the house H5081 of the prince H4908 ? and where are the dwelling H168 places H7563 of the wicked?

29 H7592 [H8804] Have ye not asked H5674 [H8802] them that go H1870 by the way H5234 [H8762] ? and do ye not know H226 their signs,

30 H7451 That the wicked H2820 [H8735] is reserved H3117 to the day H343 of destruction H2986 [H8714] ? they shall be brought forth H3117 to the day H5678 of wrath.

31 H5046 [H8686] Who shall declare H1870 his way H6440 to his face H7999 [H8762] ? and who shall repay H6213 [H8804] him what he hath done?

32 H2986 [H8714] Yet he shall be brought H6913 to the grave H8245 [H8799] , and shall remain H1430 in the tomb.

33 H7263 The clods H5158 of the valley H4985 [H8804] shall be sweet H120 to him, and every man H4900 [H8799] shall draw H310 after H4557 him, as there are innumerable H6440 before him.

34 H5162 [H8762] How then comfort H1892 ye me in vain H8666 , seeing in your answers H7604 [H8738] there remaineth H4604 falsehood?
