Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
aThey do not know the light.
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
aThey do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 “They should be swift on the face of the waters,
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
aHe should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
aHe should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
