17 How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come  on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His  anger.
         
                                
                        18 They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane  hath stolen away,
         
                                
                        19 God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth  recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.
         
                                
                        20 His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the  Mighty he drinketh.
         
                                
                        21 For what [is] his delight in his house after him, And the  number of his months cut off?
         
                                
                        22 To God doth [one] teach knowledge, And He the high doth  judge?
         
                                
                        23 This [one] dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease  and quiet.
