17 “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
How often does their destruction come upon them,
The sorrows God (A)distributes in His anger?
18 (B)They are like straw before the wind,
And like chaff that a storm [a]carries away.
19 They say, ‘God [b]lays up [c]one’s iniquity (C)for his children’;
Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
