18:2 "How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
18:3 Do you think we are mere animals? Do you think we are stupid?
18:4 You may tear out your hair in anger, but will that destroy the earth? Will it make the rocks tremble?
18:5 "Surely the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
18:6 The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
18:7 The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
18:8 The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit.
18:9 A trap grabs them by the heel. A snare holds them tight.
18:10 A noose lies hidden on the ground. A rope is stretched across their path.
18:11 "Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
18:12 Hunger depletes their strength, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
18:13 Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.
18:14 They are torn from the security of their homes and are brought down to the king of terrors.
18:15 The homes of the wicked will burn down; burning sulfur rains on their houses.
18:16 Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.
18:17 All memory of their existence will fade from the earth, no one will remember their names.
18:18 They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.
18:19 They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived.
18:20 People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified.
18:21 They will say, 'This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.'"
