Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:32

καὶ πάλιν λέγει· Εἶδον ἀσεβῆ ὑπερυψούμενον καὶ ἐπαιρόμενον ὡς τὰς κέδρους τοῦ Λιβάνου· καὶ παρῆλθον, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν, καὶ ἐξεζήτησα τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. φύλασσε ἀκακίαν καὶ ἴδε εὐθύτητα, ὅτι ἐστὶν ἐγκατάλειμμα ἀνθρώπῳ εἰρηνικῷ.

English · Claude translation

And again he says: “I saw the ungodly exalted and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon; and I passed by, and behold, he was not, and I sought his place and did not find it. Keep innocence and look on uprightness, for there is a remnant for the peaceable man.”
