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

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

²³ He will bring back on them ^(A)their iniquity
    and ^(B)wipe them out for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will wipe them out.

⁷ that though ^(A)the wicked sprout like grass
    and all ^(B)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;

^24 (A)though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
    for the Lord ^(B)upholds his hand.
