Key Passages
who brings out the chariots and horses,the armies and warriors together,to lie down, never to rise again;to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished;the flame of his fire does not glow.
The light in his tent grows dark,and the lamp beside him goes out.
How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?Does disaster come upon them?Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?
but ceasing in the dry seasonand vanishing from their channels in the heat.
