¹⁹ The evil bow down before the good,
    and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

²² Don’t they go astray who plot evil?
    But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.

³⁴ Righteousness exalts a nation,
    but sin is a disgrace to any people.

⁶ In the house of the righteous is much treasure,
    but the income of the wicked brings trouble.

⁹ The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
    but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

⁷ When a man’s ways please Yahweh,
    he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

¹³ Whoever rewards evil for good,
    evil shall not depart from his house.

³ When wickedness comes, contempt also comes,
    and with shame comes disgrace.

³ The foolishness of man subverts his way;
    his heart rages against Yahweh.

¹⁹ A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
    for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
