The ancient path

15Will you keep to the ancient path that wicked men walked?

16who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out like a river.

17who said to God, ‘Depart from us,’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do to them?’

18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

19The righteous see and rejoice, and the innocent mock them.

20Surely our adversary has been cut off, and fire has consumed their remnant.
