¹⁸ You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

⁶ Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.

⁹ Whose reward will be eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

¹² For this cause their steps will be slipping on their way: they will be forced on into the dark and have a fall there: for I will send evil on them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

²³ And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.

⁷ When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

²³ But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

³⁵ I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

³⁶ But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

³⁷ Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

³⁸ But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

²⁴ Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

²⁰ But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

³⁵ Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.
