20. But the wicked will perish;the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows but does not pay back,but the righteous is generous and gives;
22. for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23. The steps of a man are established by the Lord,when he delights in his way;
24. though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,for the Lord upholds his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old,yet I have not seen the righteous forsakenor his children begging for bread.
26. He is ever lending generously,and his children become a blessing.
27. Turn away from evil and do good;so shall you dwell forever.
