17. Darkness is like morning to all these evil peoplewho make friends with the terrors of darkness.
18. “They are like foam floating on the water.Their part of the land is cursed;no one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.
19. As heat and dryness quickly melt the snow,so the grave quickly takes away the sinners.
20. Their mothers forget them,and worms will eat their bodies.They will not be remembered,so wickedness is broken in pieces like a stick.
21. These evil people abuse women who cannot have childrenand show no kindness to widows.
22. But God drags away the strong by his power.Even though they seem strong, they do not know how long they will live.
