2Though they multiply, reioyce not in them, except the feare of the Lord be with them. 3Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is iust, is better then a thousand, and better it is to die without children, then to haue them that are vngodly. 4For by one that hath vnderstanding, shall the city be replenished, but the kindred of the wicked, shall speedily become desolate. 5Many such things haue I seene with mine eyes, and mine eare hath heard greater things then these. 6In the congregation of the vngodly, shall a fire be kindled, and in a rebellious nation, wrath is set on fire.
