be
prolonged.

perverse in
his
ways ,
though
he
be
rich.

is
great
glory :

an evil eye, and considereth
not that poverty
shall

trust
in
the
LORD
shall
be
made fat.

wisely
, he
shall
be
delivered.

that
giveth
unto
the poor shall
not
lack :
but
he
that
hideth
his eyes shall
have
many
a
curse
.

is
giving
to
the poor hath
no
lack ,
And
whoso
is
hiding
his eyes multiplied
curses

the wicked rise,
men
hide
themselves:
but
when
they
perish
, the righteous increase.
In
the rising
of
the
wicked a
man
is
hidden
, And
in
their
destruction
the righteous multiply!
