16
3 Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a
thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.
4 For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall
speedily become desolate.
6 In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on
fire.
10 Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
11 And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and
wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure.
13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils: and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate.
15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know him, that his powerful works might be known to the
world.
16 His mercy is manifest to every creature; and he hath separated his light from the darkness with an adamant.
17 Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered
among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?
18 Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall
be moved when he shall visit.
19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon
them.
22 Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the
trial of all things is in the end.
23 He that wanteth understanding will think upon vain things: and a foolish man erring imagineth follies.
26 The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed
the parts thereof.
