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.
22 Everyone the Lord blesseswill receive the land;everyone the Lord curseswill be destroyed.
23 If you do what the Lord wants,he will make certaineach step you take is sure.
24 The Lord will hold your hand,and if you stumble,you still won't fall.
