15 Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the  heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
         
                                
                        16 Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as  water perverseness.
         
                                
                        17 I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and  declare:
         
                                
                        18 Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their  fathers.
         
                                
                        19 To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed  not over into their midst:
         
                                
                        20 `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few  years have been laid up for the terrible one.
         
                                
                        21 A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace doth a  destroyer come to him.
