8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?
9 For
ahe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
That he should delight in God.’
10 “Therefore listen to me, you
1 men of understanding:
aFar be it from God
to do wickedness,
And
from the Almighty to
commit iniquity.
11 aFor He repays man
according to his work,
And makes man to find a reward according to
his way.
12 Surely God will never do wickedly,
Nor will the Almighty
apervert justice.
13 Who gave Him charge over the earth?
Or who appointed
Him over the whole world?
14 If He should set His heart on it,
If He should
agather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
15 aAll flesh would perish together,
And man would return to dust.
16 “If
you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words:
