18:015:020 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the
           number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

18:015:021 A dreadful sound is in his ears:  in prosperity the destroyer
           shall come upon him.

18:015:022 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he
           is waited for of the sword.

18:015:023 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth
           that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

18:015:024 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail
           against him, as a king ready to the battle.

18:015:025 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth
           himself against the Almighty.

18:015:026 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses
           of his bucklers: 

18:015:027 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh
           collops of fat on his flanks.

18:015:028 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man
           inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.

18:015:029 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
           neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the
           earth.

18:015:030 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up
           his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

18:015:031 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity:  for vanity shall
           be his recompence.

18:015:032 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall
           not be green.

18:015:033 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall
           cast off his flower as the olive.

18:015:034 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire
           shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

18:015:035 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their
           belly prepareth deceit.

18:016:001 Then Job answered and said,

18:016:002 I have heard many such things:  miserable comforters are ye
           all.

18:016:003 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that
           thou answerest?

18:016:004 I also could speak as ye do:  if your soul were in my soul’s
           stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head
           at you.

18:016:005 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my
           lips should asswage your grief.

18:016:006 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:  and though I
           forbear, what am I eased?

18:016:007 But now he hath made me weary:  thou hast made desolate all my
           company.

18:016:008 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness
           against me:  and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to
           my face.
