17 “How often is athe lamp of the wicked put out,
Or does their bdisaster fall on them?
Does God apportion destruction in His anger?
18 Are they as astraw before the wind,
And like bchaff which the storm steals away?
19 You say, ‘aGod stores away a man’s wickedness for his sons.’
Let God repay him so that he may know it.
20 Let his aown eyes see his decay,
And let him bdrink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what desire does he have for his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut off?
