Seeker Overlay ON
*
That the triumphing of the wicked is short ,
And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment ?
*
Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens ,
And his head reaches to the clouds ,
*
Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse ;
Those who have seen him will say , "
Where is he ?'
*
He will fly away like a dream ,
and not be found ;
Yes ,
he will be chased away like a vision of the night .
*
The eye that saw him will see him no more ,
Nor will his place behold him anymore .
*
His children will seek the favor of the poor ,
And his hands will restore his wealth .
*
His bones are full of his youthful vigor ,
But it will lie down with him in the dust .
* "
Though evil is sweet in his mouth ,
And he hides it under his tongue ,
*
Though he spares it and does not forsake it ,
But still keeps it in his mouth ,
*
Yet his food in his stomach turns sour ;
It becomes cobra venom within him .
*
He swallows down riches And vomits them up again ;
God casts them out of his belly .
*
He will suck the poison of cobras ;
The viper '
s tongue will slay him .
