17 “How often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?How often does disaster happen to them?How often does an angry God give them pain?
18 How often are they like straw in the windor like husks that the storm sweeps away?
19 “⌊You say,⌋ ‘God saves a person’s punishment for his children.’God should pay back that personso that he would know that it is a punishment.
20 His eyes should see his own ruin.He should drink from the wrath of the Almighty.
21 How can he be interested in his family after he’s gone,when the number of his months is cut short?
22 “Can anyone teach God knowledge?Can anyone judge the Most High?
23 One person dies in his primeand feels altogether happy and contented.
