How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.
That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.
And what `is' the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
Many `are' the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out;
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for `him', and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint.
