For the upright will reside in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,

The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently.

Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

For the Lord God is our sovereign protector. The Lord bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And that man was pure and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.

So the Lord blessed the second part of Job's life more than the first. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

Trust in the Lord and do what is right! Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!

But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity.

Surely those favored by the Lord will possess the land, but those rejected by him will be wiped out.

In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

The righteous will never be moved, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.
