The house of the impious will be wiped away. Yet truly, the tabernacles of the just shall spring forth.
For the congregation of the hypocrites is fruitless, and fire will devour the tabernacles of those who love to accept money.
And so, these are the tabernacles of the sinful, and this the place of he who does not know God.
For you say, "Where is the house of the ruler, and where are the tabernacles of the impious?"
He will lean on his house, and it will not stand; he will prop it up, but it will not rise.
Those who hate you, will be clothed with confusion, and the tabernacle of the impious will not continue.
If you approach with purity and honesty, he will quickly be attentive to you, and a peaceful life will repay your righteousness,
The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.
O Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning before you has not been hidden.
Whoever trusts in his riches will fall. But the just shall spring up like a green leaf.
Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
The Lord will demolish the house of the arrogant. And He will make firm the borders of the widow.
The just thinks carefully about the house of the impious, so that he may draw the impious away from evil.
There is desirable treasure, as well as oil, in the habitations of the just. And the imprudent man will waste it.
Destitution in the house of the impious is from the Lord. But the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.
