Psalm 37:35-37

Amplified Bible

³⁵
I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power]
Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil,
³⁶
Yet he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought him, but he could not be found.
³⁷
Mark the blameless man [who is spiritually complete], and behold the upright [who walks in moral integrity];
There is a [good] future for the man of peace [because a life of honor blesses one’s descendants].
