If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread.

Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe.

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not:

Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.

For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand.

Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place.
