Though while he lived he blessed his soul, And men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

Though while he lives he counts himself happy and prosperous, and though a man gets praise when he does well [for himself],

Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself),

Though they consider themselves blessed during their lives, and even thank you when you deal well with them,

If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you have placed your portion with adulterers.

If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.

The wicked of his heart's desire doth talk with boasting great; He blesseth him that's covetous, whom yet the Lord doth hate.
