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.
