For what is his interest in his home after his death, when the number of his months has been broken off?
If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.
Since man’s days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.
Let his own eyes see his destruction; let him drink of the anger of the Almighty.
Can anyone teach God knowledge, since he judges those that are on high?
I say, “O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! You endure through all generations.
But you, O God, will bring them down to the deep Pit. Violent and deceitful people will not live even half a normal lifespan. But as for me, I trust in you.
