14. Every righteous person will be rewarded; everyone will get what he deserves.

17. Never say, “I will hide from the Lord. Nobody up there is going to give me a thought. How can I be noticed among so many people? The creation is so enormous, what am I worth?

18. When the Lord comes, everything will tremble: the earth and the great waters beneath it, the sky and the heavens above it.

19. The mountains will shake, and the foundations of the earth will shudder when he looks at them.
