8. Their children are always with them,their offspring in their sight,
9. their houses safe from dread,God’s punishing stick not upon them.
10. Their bull always breeds successfully;their cows give birth and never miscarry.
11. They send forth their little ones like sheep;their infants bounce around.
12. They raise drum and lyre,rejoice at the sound of a flute.
13. They spend their days contentedly,go down to the grave peacefully.
14. They say to God, "Turn away from us;we take no pleasure in knowing your ways;
15. who is the Almighty that we should serve him,and what can we gain if we meet him?"
