What is a mere human, that he should be pure,
or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
A wicked person writhes in pain all his days,
throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.
He will not escape from the darkness;
flames will wither his shoots,
and by the breath of God’s mouth, he will depart.
Let him not put trust in worthless things, being led astray,
for what he gets in exchange will prove worthless.
He will be like a vine that drops its unripe grapes
and like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
For the company of the godless will have no children,
and fire will consume the tents of those who offer bribes.
