16 Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out! and how often comes their destruction upon them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.
18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away.
19 God lays up his iniquity for his children: he recompenses him, and he shall know it.
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judges those that are on high.
