17. “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?How often does their destruction come upon them,The sorrows God distributes in His anger?
18. They are like straw before the wind,And like chaff that a storm carries away.
19. They say, ‘God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’;Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
20. Let his eyes see his destruction,And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21. For what does he care about his household after him,When the number of his months is cut in half?
