Is it good for you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?

But the eyes of the wicked fail, and escape eludes them; their one hope is to breathe their last.”

All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.

“How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished? How often does their misfortune come upon them? How often does God apportion pain to them in his anger?

For you say, ‘Where now is the nobleman’s house, and where are the tents in which the wicked lived?’

This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty.
