19. Happy is he that is sheltered from it, That has not passed through the wrath thereof; That has not drawn its yoke, And has not been bound with its bands.
20. For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, And the bands thereof are bands of brass.
21. The death thereof is an evil death; And Hades were better than it.
22. It shall not have rule over godly men; And they shall not be burned in its flame.
23. They that forsake the Lord shall fall into it; And it shall burn among them, and shall not be quenched: It shall be sent forth upon them as a lion; And as a leopard it shall destroy them.
24. Look that you hedge your possession about with thorns; Bind up your silver and your gold;
25. And make a balance and a weight for your words; And make a door and a bar for your mouth.
