    and their words always stir up trouble.

    don’t envy the wicked.
²⁰ For evil people have no future;
    the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.

⁵ Evil people don’t understand justice,
    but those who follow the Lord understand completely.

⁶ Evil people are trapped by sin,
    but the righteous escape, shouting for joy.
