18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden for the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.
23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready for battle.
