11 If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12 But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13 The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14 They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.

16 Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18 Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
