9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Their bull breeds, and fails not; their cow calves, and casts not her calf.
11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways.
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
