15. Will you keep to the old wayWhich wicked men have trod,
16. Who were cut down before their time,Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17. They said to God, ‘Depart from us!What can the Almighty do to them?’
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,And the innocent laugh at them:
20. ‘Surely our adversaries are cut down,And the fire consumes their remnant.’
21. “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace;Thereby good will come to you.
