- The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
- but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
- The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
- But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
- Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
|
- for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
- The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
- In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
- But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish--vanish like smoke.
- The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
|
- those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.
