⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.^(A)

¹² Therefore their way shall be to them
    like slippery paths in the darkness,
    into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
    in the year of their punishment,
            says the Lord.^(A)

¹⁸ Truly you set them in slippery places;
    you make them fall to ruin.^(A)

¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God
    before he brings darkness
and before your feet stumble
    on the mountains at twilight;
while you look for light,
    he turns it into gloom
    and makes it deep darkness.^(A)

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;
    they do not know what they stumble over.^(A)
