"For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off? "

“For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?”
“For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?”
“For what is his interest in his home after his death, when the number of his months has been broken off?”
“For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?”
“For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended?”
“For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?”
That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:
Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?
One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:
His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
