In context
16 Lo! not in their own hand, is their welfare, The counsel of lawless men, is far from me!
17 How oft, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out, and their calamity, cometh upon them, Sorrows, apportioneth he in his anger;
18 They become as straw before the wind, and as chaff, which the storm stealeth away.
19 Shall, GOD, reserve, for his children, his sorrow? Let him recompense him so that he may know it;
20 His own eyes, shall see his misfortune, and, the wrath of the Almighty, shall he drink.
21 For what shall be his pleasure in his house after him, when, the number of his months, is cut in twain?
22 Is it, to GOD, one can teach knowledge, seeing that, he, shall judge, them who are on high?
