No one can become strong and steady by doing evil. But if people do what is right, they can’t be removed from the land.

No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.

Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.

No one can be made secure by wickedness, but the root of the righteous is immovable.

A person will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.

A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.

A man shall not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

When the storm is over, sinners are gone. But those who do right stand firm forever.

Then Christ will live in your hearts because you believe in him. And I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.

Sinners might store up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay.But people who do what is right will wear those clothes. People who haven’t done anything wrong will divide up that silver.The house an evil person builds is like a moth’s cocoon. It’s like a hut that’s made by someone on guard duty.

Those who do what is wrong are safe for just a while. But those who do what is right last forever.

They won’t be rich anymore. Their wealth won’t last. Their property will no longer spread out over the land.

May the Lord bless you for what you have done. You have shown a lot of good sense. You have kept me from killing Nabal and his men this day. You have kept me from using my own hands to get even.

Have your roots in him. Build yourselves up in him. Grow strong in what you believe, just as you were taught. Be more thankful than ever before.

I saw that foolish people were having success. But suddenly harm came to their homes.Their children aren’t safe at all. They lose their case in court. No one speaks up for them.Hungry people eat up the crops of the foolish. They even take the food that grows among thorns. Thirsty people long for the wealth of the foolish.

They lend their money to poor people without charging interest. They don’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty. Anyone who lives like that will always be secure.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last forever.Like the mountains around Jerusalem, the Lord is all around his people both now and forever.

Those who are evil are happy for only a short time. The joy of ungodly people lasts only for a moment.Their pride might reach all the way up to the heavens. Their heads might touch the clouds.But they will disappear forever, like the waste from their own bodies. Anyone who has seen them will say,‘ Where did they go?’Like a dream they will fly away. They will never be seen again. They will be driven away like visions in the night.The eyes that saw them won’t see them anymore. Even their own families won’t remember them.
