17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18. The Lord knows the days of the upright,And their inheritance shall be forever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish;And the enemies of the Lord,Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows and does not repay,But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
