For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judges those that are on high.
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: your years are throughout all generations.
But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.
