15. Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16. Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18. The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19. They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
20. because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21. The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22. For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
23. With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
24. When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
25. I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
26. He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
27. Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
