"Howoftenis the lampof the wickedputout, Or does their calamityfallon them? Does God apportiondestructionin His anger?
When His lampshoneovermy head,[And] by His lightI walkedthrough darkness;
For You lightmy lamp;The LORDmy Godilluminesmy darkness.
Haughtyeyesand a proudheart,The lampof the wicked,is sin.
For there will be nofuturefor the evilman;The lampof the wickedwill be putout.
The wayof the wickedis like darkness;They do not knowover whatthey stumble.
"And when [I] extinguishyou, I will coverthe heavensand darkentheir stars;I will coverthe sunwith a cloudAnd the moonwill not giveits light.
and the lightof a lampwill not shinein you anylonger;and the voiceof the bridegroomand bridewill not be heardin you any longer;for your merchantswere the great menof the earth,becauseallthe nationswere deceivedby your sorcery.
