Instruction In Wisdom

²⁶
All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing. ²⁷ 
Depart from evil and do good;
And you will dwell [securely in the land] forever.
²⁸
For the Lord delights in justice
And does not abandon His saints (faithful ones);
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will [in time] be cut off.
