Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but LORD upholds the righteous. LORD knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.

None of his steps shall slide. A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him. LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait for LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it. I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a [happy] end to the man of peace. As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble, and LORD helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
