\verseNumber{31}Therefore|strong="H4156" they|strong="H1870" shall eat|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0398" fruit|strong="H6529" of|strong="H1870" their|strong="H0398" own way|strong="H1870", and|strong="H0398" shall be|strong="H1870" filled|strong="H7646" with|strong="H7646" their|strong="H0398" own devices|strong="H4156". 
\verseNumber{32}The|strong="H3588" turning|strong="H4878" away of|strong="H7962" little ones|strong="H3684" shall kill|strong="H2026" them|strong="H2026", and|strong="H0006" the|strong="H3588" prosperity|strong="H7962" of|strong="H7962" fools|strong="H3684" shall destroy|strong="H0006" them|strong="H2026". 
\verseNumber{33}But|strong="H8085" he that|strong="H8085" shall hear|strong="H8085" me, shall rest|strong="H7931" without terror|strong="H6343", and|strong="H8085" shall enjoy abundance, without fear|strong="H6343" of|strong="H8085" evils.
