| [2]How long will you resist words? Understand! and afterwards we will speak. |

| [3]Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and have become abominable in your sight? O you who slays himself in his anger? |

| [5]Yea, the lamp of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. |
[No book] |
| [6]The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be extinguished. |
[No book] |
| [7]He shall be deserted in his illness, and his own counsel shall cast him down. |
[No book] |
| [8]For he has stretched out his feet into the net, and lie walks upon a snare. |

[No book] |
| [18]He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. |
[No book] |
