The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

Abundant tabernacula prædonum, et audacter provocant Deum, cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum.

Vulgate

οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι, ὅσοι παροργίζουσιν τὸν κύριον, ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται.

LXX

The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
