Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

The increase of his house shall depart; `His goods' shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.

Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.

When he is about to fill his belly, `God' will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.
