Behold, all you have seen it yourselves; why then do you become completely vain?
Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you should answer?
Are not mockeries with me? Yea, my eye rests on their insults.
Rise with me and I shall speak; and after I have spoken, mock on.
I will teach you by the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty I will not hide.
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of cruel men which they shall receive from the Almighty.
There is a vanity which is done on the earth: There are just ones to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked ones to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
