⁷ The wicked are overthrown, and are no more,
    but the house of the righteous shall stand.
⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom,
    but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.

¹² The wicked desires the plunder of evil men,
    but the root of the righteous flourishes.

²¹ No mischief shall happen to the righteous,
    but the wicked shall be filled with evil.

²⁸ In the way of righteousness is life;
    in its path there is no death.
