⁵ Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶ The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

⁸ But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

⁹ Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

²⁰ For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

²⁰ Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

⁹ The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

⁷ For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

¹⁰ Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

¹⁸ He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
