Their imagination of things to come, and the day of death, trouble their thoughts and cause fear of heart.
3
From him that sitteth on a throne of glory, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes;
4
from him that weareth purple and a crown, unto him that is clothed with a linen frock;
5
wrath and envy, trouble and unquietness, fear of death and anger and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed, his night sleep changeth his knowledge.
6
A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.
7
When all is safe, he awaketh, and marveleth that the fear was nothing.
8
Such things happen unto all flesh, both man and beast, and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.
9
Death and bloodshed, strife and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge--
10
these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.
11
All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again, and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.
12
All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out, but true dealing shall endure for ever.
