11 I will teach you about God’s power.

I will not conceal what the Almighty has planned.B

12 All of you have seen this for yourselves,

why do you keep up this empty talk?o

13 This is a wicked man’s lotp from God,

the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

14 Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;

his descendants will never have enough food.

15 Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,

yet their widows will not weep for them.q

16 Though he piles up silver like dust

and heaps up fine clothing like clay—

17 he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it,

and the innocent will divide up his silver.r

18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon

or a shelter set up by a watchman.s

19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;

when he opens his eyes, it is gone.

20 Terrors overtake him like a flood;t

a stormu wind sweeps him away at night.

21 An east wind picks him up, and he is gone;

it carries him away from his place.

22 It blasts at him without mercy,

while he flees desperately from its force.

23 It clapsv its hands at him

and scoffs at him from its place.
