For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. The reader is urged not to be disturbed by evildoers or envy their apparent prosperity. Their future is uncertain, and the lamp of the wicked will go out. The brief passage also insists on fearing the Lord and the king and avoiding association with rebellious people. True stability is not measured by the immediate success of those who practice evil.

Denn der Böse hat nichts zu hoffen, und die Leuchte der Gottlosen wird verlöschen.
Porque para el malo no habrá buen fin, Y la candela de los impíos será apagada.
Porque no hay futuro para el que hace el mal, y la lámpara de los malvados se apagará.
Car il n'y a point d'avenir pour celui qui fait le mal, La lampe des méchants s'éteint.
Perciocchè non vi sarà premio alcuno per lo malvagio; La lampana degli empi sarà spenta
Porque o homem maligno não terá galardão, e a lâmpada dos ímpios se apagará.
因為壞人沒有前途, 惡人的燈也必熄滅。
