16. In the dark, evil people break into houses.But in the daytime they shut themselves up in their own houses.They want nothing to do with the light.
17. Darkness is like morning to all these evil people.They make friends with the terrors of darkness.
18. “They are like foam floating on the water.Their part of the land is cursed.No one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.
19. Heat and dryness quickly take away the melted snow.In the same way, the place for the dead quickly takes away those who have sinned.
20. The evil person’s mother will even forget him.The worms will eat his body.He will no longer be remembered.So wickedness is broken in pieces like a stick.
