4 Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?
5 Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
6 Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.
7 Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?
8 Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.
9 Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.
10 Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
