For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
But if LORD makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that pertains to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall understand that these men have despised LORD.
Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who vouches for me is on high.
How often is it that the lamp of the profane is put out, that their calamity comes upon them, that [God] distributes sorrows in his anger,
Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
