For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.
His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?
