21. The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
22. those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.
23. The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;
24. though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
25. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
26. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.
27. Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
28. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed ; the offspring of the wicked will perish.
