37:1
|
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
|
|
37:2
|
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
|
|
37:3

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
|
|
37:7

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
|
|
37:12

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
|
|
37:13

|
|
37:14
|
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 conversation.
|
|
37:15
|
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
|
|
37:16
|
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
|
|
37:17

|
|
37:20

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
|
|
37:21
|
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
|
|
37:22
|
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
|
|
37:23

|
|
37:25
|
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
|
|
37:26

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
|
|
37:27
|
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
|
|
37:28

|
|
37:29
|
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
|
|
37:30

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
|
|
37:31

37:32
|
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
|
|

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
|
|
37:36

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
|
|
37:37
|
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
|
|
37:38
|
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
|
|
37:39
|
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
|
|
37:40

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
