“The lamp of the wicked will be put out, and the flame in their lamps will stop burning.
They will not escape the darkness. A flame will dry up their branches; God’s breath will carry the wicked away.
You tear yourself to pieces in your anger. Should the earth be vacant just for you? Should the rocks move from their places?
The happiness of evil people is brief, and the joy of the wicked lasts only a moment.
Yet how often are the lamps of evil people turned off? How often does trouble come to them? How often do they suffer God’s angry punishment?
Good people can look forward to a bright future, but the future of the wicked is like a flame going out.
Those who curse their father or mother will be like a light going out in darkness.
Proud looks, proud thoughts, and evil actions are sin.
An evil person has nothing to hope for; the wicked will die like a flame that is put out.
But the wicked walk around in the dark; they can’t even see what makes them stumble.
But instead, some of you want to light your own fires and make your own light. So, go, walk in the light of your fires, and trust your own light to guide you. But this is what you will receive from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
But evil people are like the angry sea, which cannot rest, whose waves toss up waste and mud.
When I make you disappear, I will cover the sky and make the stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not shine.
