And it will fall on you,

but you will be unable to ward it off.[fn]

Devastation will happen to you suddenly

and unexpectedly.

they know nothing;

all of them are mute dogs,

they cannot bark;

they dream, lie down,

and love to sleep.

“But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea,

for it cannot be still,

and its water churns up mire and muck.

Justice is turned back,

and righteousness stands far off.

For truth has stumbled in the public square,

and honesty cannot enter.

but you have done the evil things

you are capable of.
