16 How much less man, who is abominable and filthy,Who drinks iniquity like water!
17 “I will tell you, hear me;What I have seen I will declare,
18 What wise men have told,Not hiding anything received from their fathers,
19 To whom alone the land was given,And no alien passed among them:
20 The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.
21 Dreadful sounds are in his ears;In prosperity the destroyer comes upon him.
22 He does not believe that he will return from darkness,For a sword is waiting for him.
