20 २० दुष्ट मनुष्याचे सर्व दिवस वेदनात फिरवले जातात, जुलम्याचे जीवनाची वर्ष यातना भोगण्यासाठीच असतात.
The wicked writhe in pain all their lives, through all the years these oppressors survive.
Terrifying sounds fill their ears; even when they think they're safe, the destroyer will attack them.
They don't believe they will escape the darkness—they know a sword is waiting for them.
They wander around looking for food, asking ‘Where is it?’ They know that their day of darkness is close at hand.
24 २४ संकटे आणि दु: ख त्यास भित्रा बनवतात, हाल करण्यासाठी तयार असलेल्या राजा प्रमाणे ते त्याच्या विरूद्ध यश पावतात.
Misery and torment overwhelm them like a king preparing for battle.
25 २५ कारण त्याने देवाच्या विरूद्ध त्याचा हात उगारला आहे, आणि सर्वशक्तिमान देवाच्या विरूद्ध तो गर्वाने वागत आहे.
They shake their fists in God's face, defiantly challenging the Almighty,
insolently attacking him with their shields.
