17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, (A)‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who (B)stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, (C)‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”

18 For (D)who among them has stood in the council of the Lord
    to see and to hear his word,
    or who has paid attention to his word and listened?
19 (E)Behold, the storm of the Lord!
    Wrath has gone forth,
(F)a whirling tempest;
    it will burst upon the head of the wicked.

a whirlwind(G) swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
