16In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light.
17For the middle of the night is as morning to them, they are not troubled by the fear of the dark.
18They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden.
19Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.
20The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree.
21He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.
22But God by his power gives long life to the strong; he gets up again, though he has no hope of life.
