Bible. Job
18:027:012 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus
altogether vain?
18:027:013 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage
of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
18:027:014 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his
offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
18:027:015 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his
widows shall not weep.
18:027:016 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as
the clay;
18:027:017 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the
innocent shall divide the silver.
18:027:018 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the
keeper maketh.
18:027:019 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he
openeth his eyes, and he is not.
18:027:020 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him
away in the night.
18:027:021 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a
storm hurleth him out of his place.
18:027:022 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee
out of his hand.
18:027:023 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of
his place.
18:028:001 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold
where they fine it.
18:028:002 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the
stone.
18:028:003 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all
perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
18:028:004 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters
forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away
from men.
18:028:005 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is
turned up as it were fire.
18:028:006 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust
of gold.
18:028:007 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's
eye hath not seen:
18:028:008 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion
passed by it.
18:028:009 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the
mountains by the roots.
18:028:010 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every
precious thing.
18:028:011 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is
hid bringeth he forth to light.
18:028:012 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of
understanding?
18:028:013 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the
land of the living.
18:028:014 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not
with me.
18:028:015 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed
for the price thereof.
