5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? Many Bible Versions
6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; Many Bible Versions

8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. Many Bible Versions
9The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. Many Bible Versions
10His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. Many Bible Versions

12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; Many Bible Versions

14Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. Many Bible Versions
15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. Many Bible Versions
16He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him. Many Bible Versions
17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. Many Bible Versions
18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. Many Bible Versions

25It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. Many Bible Versions
26All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. Many Bible Versions
27The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. Many Bible Versions
28The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. Many Bible Versions
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. Many Bible Versions
