That is the fate of evil people, the fate of those who care nothing for God.

Can't you see it is God who has done this? He has set a trap to catch me.

God has blocked the way, and I can't get through; he has hidden my path in darkness.

God is angry and rages against me; he treats me like his worst enemy.

God has made my own family forsake me; I am a stranger to those who knew me;

You are my friends! Take pity on me! The hand of God has struck me down.

Why must you persecute me the way God does? Haven't you tormented me enough?

Even after my skin is eaten by disease, while still in this body I will see God.

The wicked vomit up the wealth they stole; God takes it back, even out of their stomachs.

Let them eat all they want! God will punish them in fury and anger.

This is the fate of wicked people, the fate that God assigns to them.

Why does God let evil people live, let them grow old and prosper?

God does not bring disaster on their homes; they never have to live in terror.

The wicked tell God to leave them alone; they don't want to know his will for their lives.

They think there is no need to serve God nor any advantage in praying to him.

Was a wicked person's light ever put out? Did one of them ever meet with disaster? Did God ever punish the wicked in anger

You claim God punishes a child for the sins of his father. No! Let God punish the sinners themselves; let him show that he does it because of their sins.

Let sinners bear their own punishment; let them feel the wrath of Almighty God.

Can anyone teach God, who judges even those in high places?

On the day God is angry and punishes, it is the wicked who are always spared.
