धेरै पटक हप्की पाएर पनि हठी हुने मानिस निको नहुने गरी एकै क्षणमा नष्ट हुने छ ।
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
धर्मात्माहरूको वृद्धि हुँदा मानिसहरूले आनन्द मनाउँछन्, तर दुष्ट मानिस शासक बन्दा मानिसहरूले सुस्केरा हाल्छन् ।

16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
दुष्ट मानिसहरू शक्तिमा पुग्दा अधर्मको वृद्धि हुन्छ, तर धर्मी मानिसहरू ती दुष्ट मानिसहरूको पतन देख्ने छन् ।
