12. The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
14. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright behavior.
15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18. The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall vanish; into smoke shall they vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
