Wherefore do the wicked men live in¹ health and prosperity, come to their old age, and increase in riches.

1. 1Job. •1.Iob. •1.

Their Childers children live in their sight, and their generation before their eyes. Their houses are safe from all fear for the rod of god doth not smite them. Their bullock gendereth, and that not out of time, their cow calveth, and is not unfruitful. They send their children forth by flocks, and their sons lead the dance. They bear with them tabrets and harps ⟨image 117⟩and have instruments of music at their pleasure. They spend their days in wealthiness but suddenly they go down to Hell.
