“The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(A)
    the flame of his fire stops burning.(B)
The light in his tent(C) becomes dark;(D)
    the lamp beside him goes out.(E)
The vigor(F) of his step is weakened;(G)
    his own schemes(H) throw him down.(I)
His feet thrust him into a net;(J)
    he wanders into its mesh.
A trap seizes him by the heel;
    a snare(K) holds him fast.(L)
10 A noose(M) is hidden for him on the ground;
    a trap(N) lies in his path.(O)
11 Terrors(P) startle him on every side(Q)
    and dog(R) his every step.
12 Calamity(S) is hungry(T) for him;
    disaster(U) is ready for him when he falls.(V)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(W)
    death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(X)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(Y)
    and marched off to the king(Z) of terrors.(AA)
