Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

{Though} hand {join} in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

As the whirlwind passeth, so {is} the wicked no {more}: but the righteous {is} an everlasting foundation.

I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts {is} the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the ghost. {they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving...: or, a puff of breath}

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth {that} the keeper maketh.

For yet a little while, and the wicked {shall} not {be}: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it {shall} not {be}.

It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because {it is} none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth {them} in the night, so that they are destroyed. {destroyed: Heb. crushed}

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. {a green...: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}

Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

He only {is} my rock and my salvation: {he is} my defence; I shall not be moved.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

As the whirlwind passeth, so {is} the wicked no {more}: but the righteous {is} an everlasting foundation.

So {are} the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they {are} not: {there is} none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
