Nabal swimming in wealth, did make a feast as the feast of a King, and his heart was merry with wine, but about ten days after, he was taken from all, 1and died; and his heart died the next morning, after he heard he should die, and he was like a stone, when his wife told him what had been intended against him. And how was Hamans heart lifted up by his advancement and great favour with the King? So that he could not contain himself, but he 2must needs tell forth to his friends, what prosperity he had; and yet he had as good hold of it, as can be enjoyed in this world, being backed and upholden by the mightiest that was in the land under God. But how soon was all his honour laid in the dust, and his joy ended with most bitter anguish and torment?
