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 one dying.
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tents 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 disaster 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 unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither allow you them that are entering to go in.
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or suffer loss?
Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
And you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
And you shall cry out in that day because of your king which you shall have chosen; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
