16. Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
18. Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
19. They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
21. The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.
22. For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23. A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.
24. Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
