40:3 From him that sitteth on a throne of glory, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes;
40:4 From him that weareth purple and a crown, unto him that is clothed with a linen frock.
40:5 Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his knowledge.
40:6 A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.
40:7 When all is safe, he awaketh, and marvelleth that the fear was nothing.
40:8 [Such things happen] unto all flesh, both man and beast, and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.
40:9 Death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge;
40:10 These things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.
40:11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again: and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.
40:12 All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out: but true dealing shall endure for ever.
