8 What hope is there for the godlessin the hour when God demands their life?
9 When trouble comes, will God hear their cries?
10 They should have desired the joy he gives;they should have constantly prayed to him.
11 Let me teach you how great is God's power,and explain what Almighty God has planned.
12 But no, after all, you have seen for yourselves;so why do you talk such nonsense?
13 This is how Almighty Godpunishes wicked, violent people.
14 They may have many sons,but all will be killed in war;their children never have enough to eat.
