⁶ Make their path dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

¹² “Therefore, the paths they take
    will become slippery.
They will be chased through the dark,
    and there they will fall.
For I will bring disaster upon them
    at the time fixed for their punishment.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁸ Truly, you put them on a slippery path
    and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.

¹⁹ But the way of the wicked is like total darkness.
    They have no idea what they are stumbling over.
