¹⁵ And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: And men shall pray for him continually; They shall bless him all the day long.

⁹ They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.

¹⁰ Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them.

¹¹ And they said, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹² Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth.

¹³ And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency.

¹⁴ For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning.
