(The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.) +How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords? +How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind? +You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it! +Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all! +For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended? +Is anyone able to give teaching to God? for he is the judge of those who are on high. +One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet: +His buckets are full of milk, and there is no loss of strength in his bones. +And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good. +Together they go down to the dust, and are covered by the worm. +See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me; +For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer? +Have you not put the question to the travellers, and do you not take note of their experience? +How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath? +Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it? +He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it. +The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him. +Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit? -- cgit v1.2.3
