But those who are evil are like the rolling sea. It never rests. Its waves toss up mud and sand.

惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海，不得平静；其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。

但是恶人好像翻腾的海，不得平静；其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥。

但是恶人好像翻腾的海，不得平静；其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥。

然而，恶人就像波涛汹涌、难以平静的大海，海浪中涌出淤泥和污物。”

恶人却像翻腾的海，不能平静，海中的水不住翻起污秽和淤泥来。

恶人却像翻涌的海——不能平静，其中的水翻涌出泥浆和淤泥。

惟獨惡人，好像翻騰的海，不得平靜；其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥來。

但是惡人好像翻騰的海，不得平靜；其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥。

但是惡人好像翻騰的海，不得平靜；其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥。

然而，惡人就像波濤洶湧、難以平靜的大海，海浪中湧出淤泥和汙物。」

惡人卻像翻騰的海，不能平靜，海中的水不住翻起污穢和淤泥來。

惟獨惡人、好像翻騰的海；因不能平靜，其水就翻騰出髒泡沬和淤泥來。

惡人卻像翻湧的海——不能平靜，其中的水翻湧出泥漿和淤泥。

惟彼惡人、若洶湧之海、不能恬靜、厥水擁出泥穢、

惟彼作惡之徒、若波濤激濁、翻騰莫遏、

惟彼惡人、若激盪之海、永不恬靜、其水湧出泥與沫、

But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt.

“ But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt.

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its water churns up mire and muck.

But the wicked are like the tossing sea, For it cannot be quiet, And its waters toss up refuse and mud.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

But the wicked are like a surging sea that is unable to be quiet; its waves toss up mud and sand.

But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil! Trouble is about to fall on them. They will be paid back for the evil things they’ve done.

“ The lamps of sinful people are blown out. Their flames will never burn again.The lights in their tents become dark. The lamps beside those who are evil go out.They walk more slowly than they used to. Their own evil plans make them fall.Their feet take them into a net. They wander right into it.A trap grabs hold of their heels. It refuses to let them go.A trap lies in their path. A rope to catch them is hidden on the ground.Terrors alarm them on every side. They follow them every step of the way.Trouble would like to eat them up. Danger waits for them when they fall.It eats away parts of their skin. Death itself feeds on their arms and legs.They are torn away from the safety of their tents. They are marched off to the one who rules over death.

Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.They do evil just as easily as they eat food. They hurt others as easily as they drink wine.

They might feel young and very strong. But they will soon lie down in the dust of their graves.“ Anything that is evil tastes sweet to them. They keep it under their tongues for a while.They can’t stand to let it go. So they hold it in their mouths.But their food will turn sour in their stomachs. It will become like the poison of a serpent inside them.They will spit out the rich food they swallowed. God will make their stomachs throw it up.They will suck the poison of a serpent. The fangs of an adder will kill them.They won’t enjoy streams that flow with honey. They won’t enjoy rivers that flow with cream.What they worked for they must give back before they can eat it. They won’t enjoy what they have earned.They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing. They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.“ No matter how much they have, they always long for more. But their treasure can’t save them.There isn’t anything left for them to eat up. Their success won’t last.While they are enjoying the good life, trouble will catch up with them. Terrible suffering will come on them.When they’ve filled their stomachs, God will pour out his great anger on them. He’ll strike them down with blow after blow.They might run away from iron weapons. But arrows that have bronze tips will wound them.They will pull the arrows out of their backs. They will remove the shining tips from their livers. They will be filled with terror.Total darkness hides and waits for their treasures. God will send a fire that will destroy them. It will burn up everything that’s left in their tents.Heaven will show their guilt to everyone. The earth will be a witness against them.A flood will carry their houses away. Rushing water will wash them away on the day when God judges.Now you know what God will do to sinful people. Now you know what he has planned for them.”

God, I’m sure you will make them slip and fall. You will throw them down and destroy them.It will happen very suddenly. A terrible death will take them away completely.A dream goes away when a person wakes up. Lord, it will be like that when you rise up. It will be as if those people were only a dream.

Sinful people always suffer pain. Mean people suffer all their lives.Terrifying sounds fill their ears. When everything seems to be going well, robbers attack them.They lose all hope of escaping the darkness of death. They will certainly be killed by swords.Like vultures, they look around for food. They know that the day they will die is near.Suffering and pain terrify them. Their troubles overpower them, like a king ready to attack his enemies.

These ungodly people are like stains at the meals you share. They have no shame. They are shepherds who feed only themselves. They are like clouds without rain. They are blown along by the wind. They are like trees in the fall. Since they have no fruit, they are pulled out of the ground. So they die twice.
