Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,

Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.

Can any teach God knowledge? And he it is that judgeth those that are high.

There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned.

Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
