14. If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15. All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
16. If now thou hast understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
17. Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?-
18. Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile, Or to nobles, Ye are wicked;
19. That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
20. In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
21. For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.
22. There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
