11. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.
12. The sinner will observe the just, and he will gnash his teeth over him.
13. But the Lord will laugh at him: for he knows in advance that his day will come.
14. The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow, so as to cast down the poor and the needy, so as to massacre the upright of heart.
15. Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16. A little is better to the just than the many riches of sinners.
17. For the arms of sinners will be crushed, but the Lord confirms the just.
18. The Lord knows the days of the immaculate, and their inheritance will be in eternity.
19. They will not be confounded in an evil time; and in days of famine, they will be satisfied:
20. for sinners will perish. Truly, the adversaries of the Lord, soon after they have been honored and exalted, will fade away, in the same way that smoke fades away.
21. The sinner will lend and not release, but the just one shows compassion and donates.
22. For those who bless him will inherit the earth, but those who curse him will perish.
23. The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.
24. When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.
25. I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.
