16?Better the little that the righteous have
????than the wealth?of many wicked;
17?for the power of the wicked will be broken,
????but the?Lord?upholds?the righteous.
18?The blameless spend their days under the?Lord’s care,
????and their inheritance will endure forever.
19?In times of disaster they will not wither;
????in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20?But the wicked will perish:
????Though the?Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
????they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21?The wicked borrow and do not repay,
????but the righteous give generously;
22?those the?Lord?blesses will inherit the land,
????but those he curses?will be destroyed.
