16 They were snatched before their time;their foundations a river swept away.
17 They said to God, “Let us alone!”and, “What can the Almighty do to us?”
18 Yet he had filled their houses with good things.The designs of the wicked are far from me!
19 The just look on and are glad,and the innocent deride them:
20 “Truly our enemies are destroyed,and what was left to them, fire has consumed!”
21 Settle with him and have peace.That way good shall come to you:
22 Receive instruction from his mouth,and place his words in your heart.
