SCRIPTURE

"The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly]." — Job 12:6 (ASV)

Into whose hand God brings abundantly. —Some understand these words to mean, to him that brings his god in his hand (Habakkuk 1:16); but the other interpretation seems more in accordance with common usage. (Compare, e.g.,Proverbs 3:27, and other examples.)
