Your sins will catch you, but everyone who lives right will sing and celebrate.
He will send fiery coals and flaming sulphur down on the wicked, and they will drink nothing but a scorching wind.
From the tents of God's people come shouts of victory: “The LORD is powerful!
Victory will be like robes for the priests, and its faithful people will celebrate and shout.
If you obey and do right, a light will show you the way and fill you with happiness.
Moses and the Israelites sang this song in praise of the LORD: I sing praises to the LORD for his great victory! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
If you obey the Lord, you will be happy, but there is no future for the wicked.
We trap ourselves by telling lies, but we stay out of trouble by living right.
Crooks walk down a road full of thorny traps. Stay away from there!
Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds.
None of us know when we might fall victim to a sudden disaster and find ourselves like fish in a net or birds in a trap.
They have been trapped by the devil, and he makes them obey him, but God may help them escape.
My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble.
You have never seen Jesus, and you don't see him now. But still you love him and have faith in him, and no words can tell how glad and happy
We are writing to tell you these things, because this makes us truly happy.
