How often is it that the lamp of the profane is put out, that their calamity comes upon them, that [God] distributes sorrows in his anger,

For what is the hope of the profane, though he gets him gain, when God takes away his soul?

So are the paths of all who forget God. And the hope of the profane man shall perish,

This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before him.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir himself up against the profane.

that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the profane but for a moment?

saying, I have not sinned, nor committed unrighteousness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity to go with the profane.

that the profane man not reign, that there be none to ensnare the people.
