13 (A)“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that (B)oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 If his (C)children are multiplied, it is for (D)the sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.

and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and (G)the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his (H)house like a moth's,
like (I)a booth that (J)a watchman makes.
19 He goes to bed rich, but will (K)do so no more;
he opens his eyes, and (L)his wealth is gone.
20 (M)Terrors overtake him like (N)a flood;
in the night a whirlwind (O)carries him off.
21 (P)The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it (Q)sweeps him out of his place.
22 It[a] hurls at him (R)without pity;
he flees from its[b] power in headlong flight.
23 It (S)claps its hands at him
and (T)hisses at him from its place.

31 Let him not (B)trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
for emptiness will be his payment.
32 It will be paid in full (C)before his time,
and his branch will not be green.
33 He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine,
and cast off his blossom like the olive tree.
34 For (D)the company of the godless is barren,
and (E)fire consumes the tents of bribery.

The Death of Samson
23 Now the lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to (B)Dagon their god and to rejoice, and they said, “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand.” 24 And when the people saw him, (C)they praised their god. For they said, “Our god has given our enemy into our hand, the ravager of our country, who has killed many of us.”[a] 25 And (D)when their hearts were merry, they said, “Call Samson, that he may entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he entertained them. They made him stand between the pillars. 26 And Samson said to the young man who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them.” 27 Now the house was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there, and (E)on the roof there were about 3,000 men and women, who looked on while Samson entertained.
28 Then Samson called to the Lord and said, “O Lord God, (F)please remember me and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29 And Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other. 30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life.

they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
