⁵ “Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out,
And the ^[c]flame of his fire gives no light.
⁶ “The light in his tent is darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
⁷ “His ^[d]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his own scheme brings him down.
⁸ “For he is thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the webbing.
⁹ “A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a trap snaps shut on him.
¹⁰ “A noose for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.
¹¹ “All around terrors frighten him,
And harry him at every step.
¹² “His strength is famished,
And calamity is ready at his side.
¹³ “^[e]His skin is devoured by disease,
The firstborn of death devours his ^[f]limbs.
¹⁴ “He is torn from ^[g]the security of his tent,
And ^[h]they march him before the king of terrors.
¹⁵ “^[i]There dwells in his tent nothing of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his habitation.
¹⁶ “His roots are dried below,
And his branch is cut off above.
¹⁷ “Memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name abroad.
¹⁸ “^[j]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased from the inhabited world.
¹⁹ “He has no offspring or posterity among his people,
Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
²⁰ “Those ^[k]in the west are appalled at his ^[l]fate,
And those ^[m]in the east are seized with horror.
²¹ “Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
