5. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any : he is mighty in strength and wisdom. .
6. He preserveth not the life of the wicked : but giveth right to the poor .
7. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righte∣ous : but with Kings are they on the Throne ; yea, he doth establish them for ever , and they are exalted .
8. And if they be bound in fetters , and be holden in cords of affliction:
9. Then he sheweth them their work , and their transgressions, that they have exceeded .
10. He openeth also their ear to discipline , and commandeth that they return from iniquity .
11. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity , and their years in pleasures .
12. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the Sword, and they shall dye without knowledge .
13. But the hypocrite•…•… 〈◊〉〈◊〉 heart heap up wrath : they cry not when he bindeth them .
14. They die in youth , and their li•…•…e is among the unclean .
15. He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression .
16. Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place , where there is no strait∣ness, and that which should be set on thy table; should be full of fatness.
17. But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee .
18. Because there is wrath , beware le•…•…t he take thee away with his stroke : then a great ransom cannot deliver thee .
