³³ His curse lingers over the wicked and their families,
    but He forever favors residence of those who do what is right.

¹⁸ Yet the way of those who do right is like the early morning sun
    that shines brighter and brighter until noon.

¹¹ A city thrives through the blessing of those living right,
    but the words of a wrongdoer will bring it to ruin.

³⁰ The tree of life grows where the fruit of right-living falls,
    and whoever wins souls is wise.
³¹ If the righteous can expect to be repaid on earth,
    how much more can the ungodly and the sinners?

²¹ Trouble eagerly pursues the sinner,
    but success rewards the right-living.

² Whoever travels through life with integrity respects the Eternal,
    but whoever turns from it hates Him.

⁸ When the wicked offer sacrifices, they disgust the Eternal,
    but the prayers of those who do right are a pleasure to Him.

¹⁹ Lazy people walk a path overgrown with thornbushes,
    but those with integrity travel a wide, level road.

²⁹ The Eternal stays far from the wrongdoers,
    but He listens to the prayer of the right-living.

¹³ Kings admire those who tell the truth;
    they adore those who set the record straight.
