For what pleasure hath 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 knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast 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 judgeth those that are high.
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, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
