17. “I will show you, listen to me;that which I have seen I will declare
18. (which wise men have told by their fathers,and have not hidden it;
19. to whom alone the land was given,and no stranger passed among them):
20. the wicked man writhes in pain all his days,even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21. A sound of terrors is in his ears.In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
22. He doesn’t believe that he shall return out of darkness.He is waited for by the sword.
23. He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
