Now the end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and self-controlled in your prayers.

And they cried [with] a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"

I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon.

When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

And he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

Why have You not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? But now I shall depart to the earth, and in the morning I am no more.

But a man that has died is utterly gone, and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.

Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night.

The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.

But God said to him, ['You] fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?'

So [is] he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

Therefore may God destroy you forever, may He pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Pause.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly; he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

The upright shall see and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?

And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

And David heard it and said, Blessed be the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.

And [Jehu] said to Bidkar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Naboth the Jezreelite, for you and I remember, [as we were] riding on chariots after Ahab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],

And [Jehu] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look after this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.

So Haman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mordecai; and then the king's wrath was appeased.

And in that day King Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Haman the slanderer. And Mordecai was called by the king; for Esther had shown that he was related to her.
