19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,
19 Fret
19 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, and be not envious of the wicked,
19 Don't bother your head with braggarts or wish you could succeed like the wicked.
19 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked;
19 Don't fret because of evildoers; don't envy the wicked.
20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle
20 for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
20 Those people have no future at all; they're headed down a dead-end street.
20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
20 For evil people have no future; the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
