37:13 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
37:14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
37:15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
37:16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
37:18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is — to the age.
37:19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
37:21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
37:22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
37:23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.
37:24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.
37:25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
37:26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
37:27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.
37:28 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
37:29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.
37:31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
37:32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
37:33 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
37:34 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off — thou seest!
37:35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
37:36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37:37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
37:38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
