“Isn't your piety your confidence? Isn't the integrity of your ways your hope?”

Truly, you have been a helper to others, and you have made feeble hands strong;
He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.
But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.
Is not your fear of God your support, and your upright way of life your hope?
Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?
What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.
By the breath of God destruction takes them, and by the wind of his wrath they are cut off.
