²⁹ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

¹⁷ How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

³⁰ That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

² For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

³ Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
