² Your words are disturbing;
    now I must speak.
³ You have accused
    and insulted me,
    and reason requires a reply.
⁴ Since the time of creation,
    everyone has known
⁵ that sinful people are happy
    for only a while.
⁶ Though their pride and power
    may reach to the sky,
⁷ they will disappear like dust,
and those who knew them
    will wonder what happened.
⁸ They will be forgotten
    like a dream
⁹ and vanish from the sight
    of family and friends.
¹⁰ Their children will have to repay
what the parents took
    from the poor.
¹¹ Indeed, the wicked will die
and go to their graves
    in the prime of life.

¹² Sinners love the taste of sin;
they relish every bite
¹³     and swallow it slowly.
¹⁴ But their food will turn sour
    and poison their stomachs.
¹⁵ Then God will make them lose
    the wealth they gobbled down.
¹⁶ They will die from the fangs
    of poisonous snakes
¹⁷ and never enjoy rivers flowing
    with milk and honey.
¹⁸ Their hard work will result
    in nothing gained,
¹⁹ because they cheated the poor
    and took their homes.

²⁰ Greedy people want everything
    and are never satisfied.^[b]
21 But when nothing remains
for them to grab,
    they will be nothing.
²² Once they have everything,
distress and despair
    will strike them down,
²³ and God will make them swallow
    his blazing anger.^[c]

²⁴ While running from iron spears,
they will be killed
    by arrows of bronze,
²⁵ whose shining tips go straight
    through their bodies.
They will be trapped by terror,
²⁶ and what they treasure most
    will be lost in the dark.
God will send flames
to destroy them in their tents
    with all their property.
²⁷ The heavens and the earth
    will testify against them,
²⁸ and all their possessions
will be dragged off
    when God becomes angry.
²⁹ This is what God has decided
    for those who are evil.
