13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
    the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(A)
14 However many his children,(B) their fate is the sword;(C)
    his offspring will never have enough to eat.(D)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
    and their widows will not weep for them.(E)

    and clothes like piles of clay,(G)
17 what he lays up(H) the righteous will wear,(I)
    and the innocent will divide his silver.(J)
18 The house(K) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(L)

19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(N)
    when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(O)
