18:021:009 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
18:021:010 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
18:021:011 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
18:021:012 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
18:021:013 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
18:021:014 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
18:021:015 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
18:021:016 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
18:021:017 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
18:021:018 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
