19 No serán avergonzados en el mal tiempo; y en los días de hambre serán hartos.

20 Mas los impíos perecerán, y los enemigos de Jehová como la grasa de los carneros serán consumidos: se disiparán como humo.

21 El impío toma prestado, y no paga; mas el justo tiene misericordia, y da.

22 Porque los benditos de él heredarán la tierra; y los malditos de él serán talados.

23 Por Jehová son ordenados los pasos del hombre, y aprueba su camino.
