36:7. Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Envy not the man who
prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
36:8. Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
36:9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord,
they shall inherit the land.
36:10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou
shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.

abundance of peace.

with his teeth.
36:13. But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day
shall come.
36:14. The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow.
To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.

be broken.

wicked.

inheritance shall be for ever.
36:19. They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days
of famine they shall be filled:

presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to
nothing and vanish like smoke.
36:21. The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth
mercy and shall give.
36:22. For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse
him shall perish.

like well his way.

his hand under him.

shall be in blessing.
36:27. Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
36:28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints:
they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the
seed of the wicked shall perish.
36:29. But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for
evermore.
36:30. The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue
shall speak judgment.
36:31. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be
supplanted.
36:32. The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to
death,
36:33. But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; nor condemn him
when he shall be judged.
36:34. Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
36:35. I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the
cedars of Libanus.

place was not found.
