17. How often is the lamp of the wicked put out and their destruction comes upon them, and God distributes sorrows upon them in his anger.
18. They shall be as stubble before the wind and as chaff taken up by the whirlwind.
19. God shall lay up his violence for their sons; and he will reward him so that he shall know it.
20. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21. For what delight shall he have in his house after him, being cut off in the number of his months?
22. Shall he teach God knowledge, seeing he judges those that are high?
23. This one shall die in the full strength of his beauty, being completely at ease and quiet.
24. His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
