The light of the wicked will still be put out; its flame will never burn again.

no wicked people have been happy for long.

On the day God is angry and punishes, it is the wicked who are always spared.

He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

There is no safety for sinners," says the LORD.

Once again my people will see the difference between what happens to the righteous and to the wicked, to the person who serves me and the one who does not."

It will be like this at the end of the age: the angels will go out and gather up the evil people from among the good

and will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.

and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned.

But you, O God, will bring those murderers and liars to their graves before half their life is over. As for me, I will trust in you.

You are guilty. You are like a high wall with a crack running down it; suddenly you will collapse.

In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!

How can anyone know what is best for us in this short, useless life of ours---a life that passes like a shadow? How can we know what will happen in the world after we die?

My days pass by without hope, pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.

Remember, O God, my life is only a breath; my happiness has already ended.

We grow and wither as quickly as flowers; we disappear like shadows.

How short you have made my life! In your sight my lifetime seems nothing. Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind,

We are like a puff of wind; our days are like a passing shadow.

You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears.
