.
27:14 If his sons become increased,
the sword [is] for them: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
27:15 Those remaining of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
27:16 Though he piles up silver like the dust, and prepare clothing like the clay;
27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
27:18 He builds his house like a moth, and like a tent that the guard makes.
27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.
27:20 Terrors catch up with him like waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
27:21 The east wind carries him away, and he gone: and as a storm hurls him out of his place.
27:22 For it will hurl on him, and won’t spare, from its
hand will he escape.
27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him from his place.
