18. what the wise have declared,hiding nothing received from their ancestors
19. (to whom alone the land was givenwhen no foreigners moved among them):
20. all his days the wicked man suffers torment,the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.
21. Terrifying sounds fill his ears;when all seems well, marauders attack him.
22. He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness;he is marked for the sword.
