For I was envious H7065 at the foolish, H1984 when I saw H7200 the prosperity H7965 of the wicked. H7563

They are not in trouble H5999 as other men; H582 neither H3808 are they plagued H5060 like H5973 other men. H120

Their eyes H5869 stand H3318 out with fatness: H2459 they have more H5674 than heart H3824 could wish. H4906

They set H8371 their mouth H6310 against the heavens, H8064 and their tongue H3956 walks H1980 through the earth. H776

And they say, H559 How H349 does God H410 know? H3045 and is there knowledge H1844 in the most H5945 High? H5945

Righteous H6662 are you, O LORD, H3068 when H3588 I plead H7378 with you: yet H389 let me talk H1696 with you of your judgments: H4941 Why H4069 does the way H1870 of the wicked H7563 prosper? H6743 why are all H3605 they happy H7951 that deal very H899 treacherously? H898

But you, O LORD, H3068 know H3045 me: you have seen H7200 me, and tried H974 my heart H3820 toward H854 you: pull H5423 them out like sheep H6629 for the slaughter, H2873 and prepare H6942 them for the day H3117 of slaughter. H2028

Because H834 sentence H6599 against an evil H7451 work H4639 is not executed H6213 speedily, H4120 therefore H5921 H3651 the heart H3820 of the sons H1121 of men H120 is fully H4390 set in them to do H6213 evil. H7451

For he said, H559 Are not my princes H8269 altogether H3162 kings? H4428

As my hand H3027 has found H4672 the kingdoms H4467 of the idols, H457 and whose graven H6456 images did excel them of Jerusalem H3389 and of Samaria; H8111

Come H857 you, say they, I will fetch H3947 wine, H3196 and we will fill H5433 ourselves with strong drink; H7941 and to morrow H4279 shall be as this H2088 day, H3117 and much H3966 more H3499 abundant. H1419

And he spoke G2036 a parable G3850 to them, saying, G3004 The ground G5561 of a certain G5100 rich G4145 man G444 brought G2164 forth G2164 plentifully: G2164

And he said, G2036 This G5124 will I do: G4160 I will pull G2507 down G2507 my barns, G596 and build G3618 greater; G3187 and there G1563 will I bestow G4863 all G3956 my fruits G1081 and my goods. G18

But God G2316 said G2036 to him, You fool, G878 this G5026 night G3571 your soul G5590 shall be required G523 of you: then G1161 whose G5101 shall those things be, which G3739 you have provided? G2090

For when G3752 they shall say, G3004 Peace G1515 and safety; G803 then G5119 sudden G160 destruction G3639 comes G2186 on them, as travail G5604 on a woman with child; G1722 G106 G2192 and they shall not G1628 escape.

Why H5921 H4100 does the wicked H7563 scorn H5006 God? H430 he has said H559 in his heart, H3820 You will not require H1875 it.

You have seen H7200 it; for you behold H5027 mischief H5999 and spite, H3708 to requite H5414 it with your hand: H3027 the poor H2489 commits H5800 himself to you; you are the helper H5826 of the fatherless. H3490

The LORD H3068 is in his holy H6944 temple, H1964 the LORD's H3068 throne H3678 is in heaven: H8064 his eyes H5869 behold, H2372 his eyelids H6079 try, H974 the children H1121 of men. H120

The LORD H3068 tries H974 the righteous: H6662 but the wicked H7563 and him that loves H157 violence H2555 his soul H5315 hates. H8130

For the ways H1870 of man H376 are before H5227 the eyes H5869 of the LORD, H3068 and he ponders H6424 all H3605 his goings. H4570

The eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 are in every H3605 place, H4725 beholding H6822 the evil H7451 and the good. H2896

If H518 your enemy H8130 be hungry, H7456 give him bread H3899 to eat; H398 and if H518 he be thirsty, H6771 give him water H4325 to drink: H8248

The north H6828 wind H7307 drives H2342 away rain: H1653 so H3651 does an angry H2194 countenance H6440 a backbiting H5643 tongue. H3956

If H518 you see H7200 the oppression H6233 of the poor, H7326 and violent H1499 perverting of judgment H4941 and justice H6664 in a province, H4082 marvel H8539 not at H5921 the matter: H2656 for he that is higher H1364 than H5921 the highest H1364 regards; H8104 and there be higher H1364 than H5921 they.

The LORD H3068 has sworn H7650 by the excellency H1347 of Jacob, H3290 Surely I will never H518 H5331 forget H7911 any H3605 of their works. H4639

Though H3588 H518 they dig H2864 into hell, H7585 there H8033 shall my hand H3027 take H3947 them; though H3588 H518 they climb H5927 up to heaven, H8064 there H8033 will I bring H3381 them down: H3381

You are of purer H2889 eyes H5869 than to behold H7200 evil, H7451 and can H3201 not look H5027 on H413 iniquity: H5999 why H4100 look H5027 you on them that deal treacherously, H898 and hold H2790 your tongue H2790 when the wicked H7563 devours H1104 the man that is more righteous H6662 than he?

And I will kill G615 her children G5043 with death; G2288 and all G3956 the churches G1577 shall know G1097 that I am G1510 he which G3739 searches G2045 the reins G3510 and hearts: G2588 and I will give G1325 to every G1538 one of you according G2596 to your G5216 works. G2041
