Job 22:16; Ecclesiastes 7:17; Psalm 55:23; Psalm 102:24

16  They were snatched away tbefore their time;

their foundation was washed away.1


17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. eWhy should you die before your time?


23  But you, O God, kwill cast them down

into lthe pit of destruction;

men of mblood and treachery

shall not nlive out half their days.

But I will otrust in you.


24  O my God, oI say, take me not away

in the midst of my days

pyou whose years endure

throughout all generations!
