³³ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
³⁴ Surely he scorneth the scorners:
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory:
but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

³ The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish:
    but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

²² The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
    and he addeth no sorrow with it.

²⁴ The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him:
    but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

²⁵ As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more:
    but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

²⁸ The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
    but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

²⁹ The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
    but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

³⁰ The righteous shall never be removed:
    but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
    but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

⁵ The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:
    but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them:
    but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

⁷ When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish:
    and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
    and the wicked cometh in his stead.

¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life:
    so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord:
    but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

²¹ Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:
    but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

²³ The desire of the righteous is only good:
    but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

²⁷ He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:
    but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
