14. The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.
15. Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken.
16. Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the Lord sustains the righteous.
18. The Lord knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.
19. They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
20. But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish-like smoke they vanish away.
