“Indeed, the (A)light of the wicked goes out,
And the [a]flame of his fire gives no light.
The light in his tent is (B)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
His [b]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his (C)own counsel brings him down.
For he is (D)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the netting.
A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a device snaps shut on him.
10 A rope for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.
11 All around (E)terrors frighten him,
And (F)harass him at every step.
12 His vigor is (G)famished,
And disaster is ready at his side.
13 The firstborn of death eats parts of his skin;
It (H)eats parts of him.
14 He is (I)torn from [c]the security of his tent,
And [d]they march him in step before the king of (J)terrors.

[a]The expression of their faces answers against them,
And they declare their sin like (A)Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have (B)dealt out evil on themselves.
