90:1  I need not swear by the Lord of this land
90:2  and though a dweller in this land

90:4  We have surely created man in trouble
90:5  Does he think that none can do aught against him
90:6  He says, I have wasted wealth in plenty
90:7  does he think that no one sees him

90:20  for them is fire that closes in
