So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;
Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.
The thing feared by the evil-doer will come to him, but the upright man will get his desire.
A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.
Rods are being made ready for the man of pride, and blows for the back of the foolish.
He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.
For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.
And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble.
