The transgression

A wicked man’s iniquities entrap him;
he is entangled in the ropes of his own sin.

The righteousness of the blameless clears his path,
but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.

An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,
but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

His powerful stride is shortened,
and his own schemes trip him up.

He will rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked;
a scorching wind will be their portion.

He will be a sanctuary;
but for the two houses of Israel,
He will be a stone to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Then they may come to their senses and escape the Devil’s trap, having been captured by him to do his will.

But

Light dawns

for the righteous,

gladness for the upright in heart.

There are shouts of joy and victory
in the tents of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand performs valiantly!

I will clothe its priests with salvation,
and its godly people will shout for joy.

We have also obtained access through Him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials,

You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy,

We are writing these things
so that our joy may be complete.
