“ Here’s what God does to sinful people. Here’s what those who are mean receive from the Mighty One.

“神为恶人所定的份，强暴人从全能者所得的报乃是这样：

“这是上帝为恶人所定的份，残暴人从全能者所得的产业：

“这是神为恶人所定的份，残暴人从全能者所得的产业：

“以下是上帝给恶人定的结局，全能者赐给残暴之徒的归宿。

这是恶人从神所得的分，强暴的人从全能者所得的业。

神為惡人所定的分，強暴人從全能者所得的報乃是這樣：

「這是上帝為惡人所定的份，殘暴人從全能者所得的產業：

「這是神為惡人所定的份，殘暴人從全能者所得的產業：

「以下是上帝給惡人定的結局，全能者賜給殘暴之徒的歸宿。

這是惡人從神所得的分，強暴的人從全能者所得的業。

『惡人在上帝那裏所有的分兒、強橫人從全能者所得的產業乃是以下這樣：

惡人由上帝所受之分、強暴者由全能者所得之業、

爾曰、全能之上帝、報惡人、罰強暴、

天主為惡人所定之罰、強暴人由全能之主所得之報、今將言之、

“ Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:

“ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:

“ This is what the wicked will receive from God; this is their inheritance from the Almighty.

This is a wicked man’s lot from God, the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

“ This is the portion of a wicked person from God, And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty:

“ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

This is a wicked man’s lot from God, the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

This[ is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors,[ which] they shall receive of the Almighty.

This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty.

“ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing. They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.“ No matter how much they have, they always long for more. But their treasure can’t save them.There isn’t anything left for them to eat up. Their success won’t last.While they are enjoying the good life, trouble will catch up with them. Terrible suffering will come on them.When they’ve filled their stomachs, God will pour out his great anger on them. He’ll strike them down with blow after blow.They might run away from iron weapons. But arrows that have bronze tips will wound them.They will pull the arrows out of their backs. They will remove the shining tips from their livers. They will be filled with terror.Total darkness hides and waits for their treasures. God will send a fire that will destroy them. It will burn up everything that’s left in their tents.Heaven will show their guilt to everyone. The earth will be a witness against them.A flood will carry their houses away. Rushing water will wash them away on the day when God judges.Now you know what God will do to sinful people. Now you know what he has planned for them.”

The Lord says,“ The poor are being robbed. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them.”

Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

Sinful people always suffer pain. Mean people suffer all their lives.Terrifying sounds fill their ears. When everything seems to be going well, robbers attack them.They lose all hope of escaping the darkness of death. They will certainly be killed by swords.Like vultures, they look around for food. They know that the day they will die is near.Suffering and pain terrify them. Their troubles overpower them, like a king ready to attack his enemies.They shake their fists at God. They brag about themselves and oppose the Mighty One.They boldly charge against him with their thick, strong shields.“ Their faces are very fat. Their stomachs hang out.They’ll live in towns that have been destroyed. They’ll live in houses where no one else lives. The houses will crumble to pieces.They won’t be rich anymore. Their wealth won’t last. Their property will no longer spread out over the land.They won’t escape the darkness of death. A flame will dry up everything they have. The breath of God will blow them away.Don’t let them fool themselves by trusting in what is worthless. They won’t get anything out of it.Even before they die, they will dry up. No matter what they do, it won’t succeed.They’ll be like vines that are stripped of their unripe grapes. They’ll be like olive trees that drop their flowers.People who are ungodly won’t have any children. Fire will burn up the tents of people who accept money from those who want special favors.Instead of having children, ungodly people create suffering. All they produce is evil. They are full of lies.”

But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil! Trouble is about to fall on them. They will be paid back for the evil things they’ve done.

“ So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts.

Sinful people are destroyed. Trouble comes to those who do what is wrong.

He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.

You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.You have lived an easy life on earth. You have given yourselves everything you wanted. You have made yourselves fat like cattle that will soon be butchered.You have judged and murdered people who aren’t guilty. And they weren’t even opposing you.

Don’t take advantage of poor people just because they are poor. Don’t treat badly those who are in need by taking them to court.The Lord will stand up for them in court. He will require the lives of people who have taken the lives of those in need.

Sinful people don’t respect God. So things won’t go well with them. Like a shadow, they won’t be around very long.
