²⁷ The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
    but the years of the wicked will be short.
²⁸ The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
    but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.
²⁹ The Lord is a stronghold to him whose way is upright,
    but destruction to evildoers.

    but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
³¹ The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
    but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
