"He trustsin his house,but it does not stand;He holdsfastto it, but it does not endure.
"He is tornfrom the securityof his tent,And they marchhim before the kingof terrors.
"He has builthis houselike the spider's web, Or as a hut[which] the watchmanhas made.
"Those who hateyou will be clothedwith shame,And the tentof the wickedwill be nolonger."
The wickedwill seeit and be vexed,He will gnashhis teethand meltaway;The desireof the wickedwill perish.
Their innerthoughtis [that] their housesare forever[And] their dwellingplacesto allgenerations;They have calledtheir landsafter their own names.
The hopeof the righteousis gladness,But the expectationof the wickedperishes.
The houseof the wickedwill be destroyed,But the tentof the uprightwill flourish.
You who rejoicein Lodebar,And say,"Have we not by our [own] strengthtakenKarnaimfor ourselves?"
"I will make it goforth,"declaresthe LORDof hosts,"and it will enterthe houseof the thiefand the houseof the one who swearsfalselyby My name;and it will spendthe nightwithinthat houseand consumeit with its timberand stones."
