17. For the ungodly shall see a wise man’s end, And shall not understand what the Lord purposed concerning him, And for what he safely kept him:—
18. They shall see, and they shall despise; But them the Lord shall laugh to scorn. And after this they shall become a dishonored carcase, And a reproach among the dead for ever:
