¹⁸ But when it is uprooted,
    it’s as though it never existed!

³⁶ But when I looked again, they were gone!
    Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

⁷ Though the wicked sprout like weeds
    and evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.

¹⁸ Truly, you put them on a slippery path
    and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.
¹⁹ In an instant they are destroyed,
    completely swept away by terrors.

¹⁰ Soon the wicked will disappear.
    Though you look for them, they will be gone.

⁹ Those who once saw them will see them no more.
    Their families will never see them again.
