9. Those who do evil will be cut off,but those who wait for the Lord will inherit the earth.
10. Wait a little, and the wicked will be no more;look for them and they will not be there.
11. But the poor will inherit the earth,will delight in great prosperity.
12. The wicked plot against the righteousand gnash their teeth at them;
13. But my Lord laughs at them,because he sees that their day is coming.
14. The wicked unsheath their swords;they string their bowsTo fell the poor and oppressed,to slaughter those whose way is upright.
15. Their swords will pierce their own hearts;their bows will be broken.
16. Better the meagerness of the righteous onethan the plenty of the wicked.
17. The arms of the wicked will be broken,while the Lord will sustain the righteous.
