Joy rests long with the righteous, but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

The ungodly shall be driven away in his wickedness, but he who is secure in his own holiness is just.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword, my hand shall have dominion.

You sent forth Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty water.

Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web.

But safety shall fail them, for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

Will you indeed say, I am God, before them that slay you? Seeing you are man, and not God.

And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry."'

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?'
