In context
11 They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,
12 They lift themselves up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.
13 They wear out in good their days, And in a moment to Sheol go down.
14 And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
15 What is the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'
16 Lo, not in their hand is their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
17 How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
