In context

16Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.

17How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?

18Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a storm?

19It is said that God lays up one’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the man himself, so he will know it.

20Let his eyes see his own destruction; let him drink for himself the wrath of the Almighty.
