15 Will you keep to the old path
    that the wicked(A) have trod?(B)
16 They were carried off before their time,(C)
    their foundations(D) washed away by a flood.(E)
17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone!
    What can the Almighty do to us?’(F)
18 Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things,(G)
    so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.(H)
19 The righteous see their ruin and rejoice;(I)
    the innocent mock(J) them, saying,
20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed,(K)
    and fire(L) devours their wealth.’
