18The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.
19They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.
20But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.
21The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.
22Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.
24Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.
