How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft comes their destruction on them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
The light of the righteous rejoices: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
