15
Will you keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden,
16
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17
Who said to God, `Depart from us;` And, `What can the Almighty do for us?`
18
Yet he filled their houses with good things, But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19
The righteous see it, and are glad; The innocent laugh them to scorn,
20
Saying, `Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, The fire has consumed the remnant of them.`
