15 But they will be killedby their own swords,and their arrowswill be broken.
16 It is better to live rightand be poorthan to be sinful and rich.
17 The wicked will lose allof their power,but the Lord gives strengthto everyone who is good.
18 Those who obey the Lordare daily in his care,and what he has given themwill be theirs forever.
19 They won't be in troublewhen times are bad,and they will have plentywhen food is scarce.
20 Wicked people are enemiesof the Lordand will vanish like smokefrom a field on fire.
21 An evil person borrowsand never pays back;a good person is generousand never stops giving.
