15 Los que le quedaren, en muerte serán sepultados; y no llorarán sus viudas.

16 Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo;

17 Habrála él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, y el inocente repartirá la plata.

19 El rico dormirá, mas no será recogido: abrirá sus ojos, mas él no será.
