for sinners will perish. Truly, the adversaries of the Lord, soon after they have been honored and exalted, will fade away, in the same way that smoke fades away.

The sinner will lend and not release, but the just one shows compassion and donates.

For those who bless him will inherit the earth, but those who curse him will perish.

The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.

When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.

I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.

He shows compassion and lends, all day long, and his offspring will be in blessing.
