And make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
    your justice like noonday.(B)

    wait for him.
Do not be provoked by the prosperous,
    nor by malicious schemers.

Refrain from anger; abandon wrath;
    do not be provoked; it brings only harm.
Those who do evil will be cut off,
    but those who wait for the Lord will inherit the earth.(C)

    look for them and they will not be there.
