Psalms 37:20 in Context — Psalms 37
18 L’Éternel connaît les jours des hommes intègres, Et leur héritage dure à jamais.
19 Ils ne sont pas confondus au temps du malheur, Et ils sont rassasiés aux jours de la famine.
20 Mais les méchants périssent, Et les ennemis de l’Éternel, comme les plus beaux pâturages; Ils s’évanouissent, ils s’évanouissent en fumée.
21 Le méchant emprunte, et il ne rend pas; Le juste est compatissant, et il donne.
22 Car ceux que bénit l’Éternel possèdent le pays, Et ceux qu’il maudit sont retranchés.
