17 Now that the judgmentfor your sinshas fallen upon you,
18 don't let your angerand the pain you enduredmake you sneer at God.
19 Your reputation and richescannot protect youfrom distress,
20 nor can you find safetyin the dark world below.
21 Be on guard! Don't turn to evilas a way of escape.
22 God's power is unlimited.He needs no teachers
23 to guide or correct him.
