And whis widows shall not weep.

16Though he xheap up silver as the dust,

And prepare raiment as the clay;

17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,

And ythe innocent shall divide the silver.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,

and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:

If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,

and his descendants have not enough bread.

Those who survive him the pestilence buries,

and his widows do not weep.

Though he heap up silver like dust,

and pile up clothing like clay,

he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,

and the innocent will divide the silver.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,

the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:

However many his children, their fate is the sword;

his offspring will never have enough to eat.

The plague will bury those who survive him,

and their widows will not weep for them.

Though he heaps up silver like dust

and clothes like piles of clay,

what he lays up the righteous will wear,

and the innocent will divide his silver.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is a wicked man’s lot from God,

the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

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

his descendants will never have enough food.

Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,

yet their widows will not weep for them.

Though he piles up silver like dust

and heaps up fine clothing like clay—

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

and the innocent will divide up his silver.

NLTNew Living Translation

“This is what the wicked will receive from God;

this is their inheritance from the Almighty.

They may have many children,

but the children will die in war or starve to death.

Those who survive will die of a plague,

and not even their widows will mourn them.

“Evil people may have piles of money

and may store away mounds of clothing.

But the righteous will wear that clothing,

and the innocent will divide that money.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“This is the portion of the wicked human being with God,

and they receive from Shaddai the inheritance of the ruthless.

If their children multiply, it is for the sword,

and his offspring do not have enough to eat.

Their survivors are buried through the plague,

and their widows do not weep.

If he heaps up silver like the dust

and fashions clothing like the clay,

he makes it ready, and the righteous will wear it,

and the innocent will divide the silver.
