19 You say, ‘God (A)stores up their iniquity for their (B)children.’
    Let him pay it out to them, that they may (C)know it.
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction,
    and let them (D)drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what do they care for their houses after them,
    when (E)the number of their months is cut off?
