18. (Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it;
19. Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them:)
20. The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21. A sound of terrors is in his ears; in prosperity the spoiler shall come upon him:
22. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword:
23. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand:
24. Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle:
25. Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, and behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
26. He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27. Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and made collops of fat on his flanks;
28. And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
