²⁰ Behold, ^(A)God will not ^[a]cast away the blameless,
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

^24 (A)Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

45 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To ^(A)Cyrus, whose ^(B)right hand I have ^[a]held—
^(C)To subdue nations before him
And ^(D)loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:

¹⁴ For the Lord will not ^[a]cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

^30 (A)For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;
They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

²² It is all one thing;
Therefore I say, ^(A)‘He destroys the blameless and the wicked.’
