¹⁹ Evil people will bow down before the good;
    wicked people are at the gates of the righteous.

²² Don’t those who plan evil go astray?
    Those who plan good receive loyalty and faithfulness.

³⁴ Righteousness dignifies a nation,
    but sin disgraces a people.

⁶ Great treasure is in the house of the righteous,
    but the gain of the wicked brings trouble.

⁹ The Lord detests the path of the wicked,
    but loves those who pursue righteousness.

⁷ When people draw favor from the Lord,
    even their enemies are at peace with them.

¹³ Evil will never depart from the house
    of those who return evil for good.

³ When the wicked arrive, so does contempt;
    with shame comes insult.

³ People’s own folly corrupts their way,
    but their hearts rage against the Lord.

¹⁹ Angry people must pay the penalty;
    if you rescue them, then you will have to do it again.
