But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.
He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;
To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.
Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.
If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?
He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.
But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.
No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.
But if you still do evil, destruction will overtake you and your king.
