<p class="poetry">Be careful that<n id="1" /> no one entices you with riches;p> <p class="poetry">do not let a large bribe<n id="2" /> turn you aside.p>

<p class="poetry">Is my<n id="1" /> complaint against a man?<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">If so,<n id="3" /> why should I not be impatient?<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">I will not show partiality to anyone,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">nor will I confer a title<n id="2" /> on any man.p>

<p class="poetry">The womb<n id="1" /> forgets him,p> <p class="poetry">the worm feasts on him,p> <p class="poetry">no longer will he be remembered.p> <p class="poetry">Like a tree, wickedness will be broken down.p>

<p class="poetry">and if<n id="1" /> God<n id="2" /> is gracious to him and says,p> <p class="poetry">&#8216;Spare<n id="3" /> him from going downp> <p class="poetry">to the place of corruption,p> <p class="poetry">I have found a ransom for him,&#8217;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">If a man dies, will he live again?<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">All the days of my hard service<n id="2" /> I will wait<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">until my release comes.<n id="4" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;But there is hope for<n id="1" /> a tree:<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">If it is cut down, it will sprout again,p> <p class="poetry">and its new shoots will not fail.p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;O that<n id="1" /> you would hide me in Sheol,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and conceal me till your anger has passed!<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">O that you would set me a time<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">and then remember me!<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">In a moment they die, in the middle of the night,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">people<n id="2" /> are shaken<n id="3" /> and they pass away.p> <p class="poetry">The mighty are removed effortlessly.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">In the troubling thoughts<n id="1" /> of the dreams<n id="2" /> in the nightp> <p class="poetry">when a deep sleep<n id="3" /> falls on men,p>

<p class="poetry">A flood will carry off his house,p> <p class="poetry">rushing waters on the day of God&#8217;s wrath.p>

<p class="poetry">How often<n id="1" /> are they like straw before the wind,p> <p class="poetry">and like chaff swept away<n id="2" /> by a whirlwind?p>

<p class="poetry">Let darkness and the deepestp> <p class="poetry">shadow<n id="1" /> claim it;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">let a cloud settle on it;p> <p class="poetry">let whatever blackens the day<n id="3" /> terrify it!p>

<p class="poetry">Far from where people live<n id="1" /> he sinks a shaft,p> <p class="poetry">in places travelers have long forgotten,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">far from other people he dangles and sways.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">And surely, he drew you<n id="1" /> from the mouth of distress,p> <p class="poetry">to a wide place, unrestricted,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and to the comfort<n id="3" /> of your tablep> <p class="poetry">filled with rich food.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">If a land<n id="1" /> has been givenp> <p class="poetry">into the hand of a wicked man,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">he covers<n id="3" /> the faces of its judges;<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">if it is not he, then who is it?<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">Total darkness waits to receive his treasures;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">a fire which has not been kindled<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">will consume himp> <p class="poetry">and devour what is left in his tent.p>

<p class="poetry">His troops<n id="1" /> advance together;p> <p class="poetry">they throw up<n id="2" /> a siege ramp against me,p> <p class="poetry">and they camp around my tent.p>

<p class="poetry">God<n id="1" /> may let them rest in a feeling of security,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">but he is constantly watching<n id="3" /> all their ways.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">what he stores up<n id="1" /> a righteous man will wear,p> <p class="poetry">and an innocent man will inherit his silver.p>
