XXI] :The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
 * How oft is the candle of the wicked put out!
 * And how oft cometh their destruction upon them!
 * God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
 * They are as stubble before the wind,
 * And as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
 * God layeth up his iniquity for his children:
 * He rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
 * His eyes shall see his destruction,
 * And he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
 * For what pleasure hath he in his house after him,
 * When the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
 * Shall any teach God knowledge?
 * Seeing he judgeth those that are high.
 * One dieth in his full strength,
 * Being wholly at ease and quiet.
 * His breasts are full of milk,
 * And his bones are moistened with marrow.
 * And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul,
 * And never eateth with pleasure.
 * They shall lie down alike in the dust.
 * And the worms shall cover them.
 * Behold, I know your thoughts,
 * And the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
 * For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?
