, And
those seeking
Jehovah
understand
all

the righteous triumph,
there
is
great
glory, but
when
the wicked rise,
men
hide

gives
to the poor will
not
be
in
need
, but

who
hides
his eyes will
receive
many
curses.

is
giving
to the poor hath
no
lack
, And
whoso
is
hiding
his eyes multiplied
curses.
When
the wicked come
to
power,
people
hide
themselves;
but
when
they
perish
, the righteous flourish.
In
the rising
of
the
wicked a
man
is
hidden
, And
in
their
destruction
the righteous multiply!
