4 Through one wise person a city can be peopled;but through a clan of rebels it becomes desolate.
5 Many such things my eye has seen,and even more than these my ear has heard.
6 Against a sinful band fire is kindled,upon a godless people wrath blazes.
7 He did not forgive the princes of oldwho rebelled long ago in their might.
8 He did not spare the neighbors of Lot, abominable in their pride.
9 He did not spare the doomed people,dispossessed because of their sin;
10 Nor the six hundred thousand foot soldiers, sent to their graves for the arrogance of their hearts.
