For their calamitywill risesuddenly,And whoknowsthe ruin[that comes] from bothof them?
Then allthe guestsof Adonijahwere terrified;and they aroseand eachwenton his way.
Whounderstandsthe powerof Your angerAnd Your fury,according to the fearthat is due You?
The furyof a kingis [like] messengersof death,But a wisemanwill appeaseit.
The terrorof a kingis like the growlingof a lion;He who provokeshim to angerforfeitshis own life.
For a righteousmanfallsseventimes,and risesagain, But the wickedstumblein [time of] calamity.
Thereforehis calamitywill comesuddenly;Instantlyhe will be brokenand therewill be nohealing.
Moreover,mandoes not knowhis time:like fishcaughtin a treacherousnetand birdstrappedin a snare,so the sonsof menare ensnaredat an eviltimewhen it suddenlyfallson them.
Ephraimis oppressed,crushedin judgment,Becausehe was determinedto follow[man's] command.
