¹⁷ The effect of righteousness will be peace,
    and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

¹⁵ The one who walks righteously and has spoken^[a] sincere words,
    who rejects gain from extortion
and waves his hand,
    rejecting bribes,
    who blocks his ears from hearing plots of murder
        and shuts his eyes against seeing evil—

¹⁶ this is the one who will live on the heights;
    his refuge will be a mountain fortress.
His food will be supplied,
    and his water will be guaranteed.
