But God will knock you down,
    and he will break you into pieces.
He will take you away from your home.
He will remove you from this world where people live.
Selah.
Righteous people will see what has happened,
    and they will be afraid.[a]
Then they will laugh at the wicked person,
    and they will say,
‘Look! This man did not trust God to keep him safe.
    Instead, he trusted in his riches.
He thought that he could be cruel,
    and that would keep him safe.’
