or, if we are strong, eighty years.

A worthless person, a wicked man

goes around speaking dishonestly,

a heart that plots wicked schemes,

feet eager to run to evil,

The way of the LORD is a stronghold for the honorable,

but destruction awaits evildoers.

When the wicked person dies,

his expectation comes to nothing,

and hope placed in wealth[fn][fn] vanishes.

No disaster overcomes the righteous,

but the wicked are full of misery.
