Wicked

Burn not with vexation because of evil-doers, Be not envious of the workers of perversity;

Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, they are like grass that shooteth up,

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

And their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame - They became - Grass of the field and Young herbage, Grass on housetops, and Seed parched before it came up.

A voice saying Cry! And one said - What should I cry? All flesh, is grass, And, all the grace thereof, like the flower of the field:

Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, - because, as a flower of grass, he will pass away;

Inasmuch as - All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, - The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,

Workers

Lo! these, are the lawless, Who are secure for an age, They have attained unto wealth.

At peace are the tents that belong to the spoilers, and there is security to them who provoke GOD, To him who bringeth a god in his hand.

Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power?

Righteous, art thou O Yahweh, when I present my pleading unto thee, - Yet, concerning the things that are right, let me speak with thee, - Wherefore hath, the way of the lawless, prospered? Wherefore have all, utter traitors, been at ease?

Now, therefore, we are pronouncing happy - the proud, - and, the doers of lawlessness have, even been built up, and, they who have put God to the proof, have even been delivered.

For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, - and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

It is that

I have seen a lawless man, a tyrant, and spreading himself out, like a cedar in Lebanon;

Surely, in slippery places, dost thou set them, - Thou hast suffered them to fall into places of danger.

And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, - so she told him nothing - less or more, until the light of the morning.

For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, - and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.

Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.

For, like grass, soon shall they wither, and, like green herbage, shall they fade.

In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
