will not live out half their days.

God will send His burning anger against him,
raining it down on him while he is eating.

the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

Then all your people will be righteous;
they will possess the land forever;
they are the branch I planted,
the work of My hands,
so that I may be glorified.

and priests to our God,
and they will reign on the earth.
