23 One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie, 24 His breastes are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe. 25 Another dyeth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure. 26 They shall sleepe both alyke in the earth, and the wormes shall couer them. 27 Beholde, I know what ye thinke, yea and the subtiltie that ye imagine against me. 28 For ye say where is the princes palace? and where is the dwelling of the vngodly? 29 Haue ye not asked them that go by the way? Doubtlesse ye cannot denie their tokens, 30 That the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and the vngodly shalbe brought foorth to the day of wrath. 31 Who dare declare his way to his face? who wil rewarde him for that he doth? 32 Yet shall he be brought to his graue, and dwell among the heape of the dead. 33 Then shal the slymie valley be sweet vnto him, all men also must folowe him, as there are innumerable gone before him. 34 Howe vayne then is the comfort that ye geue me, seyng falshood remayneth in all your aunsweres?
