	Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
	He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
	He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
	The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

	The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
	For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
