His bones are full of his youth,
but youth will lie down with him in the dust.

The eye which saw him will see him no more,
neither will his place see him any more.

His children will seek the favor of the poor.
His hands will give back his wealth.

Selected verse
His bones are full of his youth,
but youth will lie down with him in the dust.
12
“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,
though he hide it under his tongue,
13
though he spare it, and will not let it go,
but keep it still within his mouth,
14
yet his food in his bowels is turned.
It is cobra venom within him.
