5 Miradme, y espantaos, y poned la mano sobre la boca.

6 Aun yo mismo, cuando me acuerdo, me asombro, y toma temblor mi carne.

7 ¿Por qué viven los impíos, y se envejecen, y aun crecen en riquezas?

8 Su simiente con ellos, compuesta delante de ellos; y sus renuevos delante de sus ojos.

9 Sus casas seguras de temor, ni hay azote de Dios sobre ellos.
