4 Whether one wears a splendid crownor is clothed in the coarsest of garments—
5 There is wrath and envy, trouble and dread,terror of death, fury and strife.Even when one lies on his bed to rest,his cares disturb his sleep at night.
6 So short is his rest it seems like none,till in his dreams he struggles as he did by day,Troubled by the visions of his mind,like a fugitive fleeing from the pursuer.
7 As he reaches safety, he wakes up,astonished that there was nothing to fear.
8 To all flesh, human being and beast,but for sinners seven times more,
9 Come plague and bloodshed, fiery heat and drought,plunder and ruin, famine and death.
10 For the wicked evil was created,and because of them destruction hastens.
