CHAP. V.
1 The wicked shal wonder at the godly, 4 and confesse their errour, 5 and the vanitie of their liues. 15 God will reward the Iust, 17 and warre against the wicked.
3 And they repenting, and groning for anguish of spirit, shall say within themselues, This was he whom wee had sometimes in derision, and a prouerbe of reproch.3
4 We fooles accounted his life madnes, and his end to be without honour.4
5 How is hee numbred among the children of God, and his lot is among the Saints?
7 We wearied ourselues in the way of wickednesse, and destruction: yea, we haue gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we haue not knowen it.7
8 What hath pride profited vs? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought vs?
9 All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a Poste that hasted by.9
11 Or as when a bird hath flowen thorow the aire, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light aire being beaten with the stroke of her wings, and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed thorow, and therin afterwards no signe where she went, is to be found.11
14 For the hope of the vngodly is like dust that is blowen away with þe wind, like a thinne froth that is driuen away with þe storme: like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarieth but a day.14
16 Therfore shall they receiue a glorious kingdome, & a beautiful crowne from the Lords hande: for with his right hand shall he couer them, and with his arme shall he protect them.16
18 He shal put on righteousnesse as a brestplate, and true iudgement in stead of an helmet.18
19 He shall take holinesse for an inuincible shield.19
