For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
And you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not listen to your voice, nor give ear to you.
And you shall cry out in that day because of your king which you shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
