²⁸ Those who trust in their riches will wither,^[a]
    but the righteous will flourish like green leaves.^(A)

⁸ They shall be like a tree planted by water,
    sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
    and it does not cease to bear fruit.^(A)

⁷ “See the one who would not take
    refuge in God
but trusted in abundant riches
    and sought refuge in wealth!”^[a](A)

³ They are like trees
    planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
    and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.^(A)

¹⁰ Put no confidence in extortion,
    and set no vain hopes on robbery;
    if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.^(A)

²¹ Your people shall all be righteous;
    they shall possess the land forever.
They are the shoot that I planted, the work of my hands,
    so that I might be glorified.^(A)
