No harm befalls the righteous, But the wrong shall be filled with evil.
יהוה guards you from all evil; He guards your being.
No evil befalls you, And a plague does not come near your tent;
“Therefore let them eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own counsels.
“But whoever listens to me dwells safely, And is at ease from the dread of evil.”
Hand to hand, the evil one does not go unpunished, But the seed of the righteous shall escape.
Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, But counsellors of peace have joy.
The backslider in heart is satisfied with his own ways, But a good man is satisfied from his.
The fear of יהוה leads to life, And he remains satisfied, He is not visited by evil.
It is good that you should take hold of this, and also not withhold your hand from the other. For he who fears Elohim comes forth with all of them.
He who guards the command knows no evil matter. And the heart of the wise discerns both time and right-ruling,
“You shall be filled with shame instead of esteem. Drink, you too, and be exposed as uncircumcised! The cup of the right hand of יהוה shall come around to you, and great shame upon your esteem.
And we know that all matters work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to His purpose.
For this slight momentary pressure, is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of esteem.
And who is the one doing evil to you, if you become imitators of the good?
“Render to her as she indeed did render, and repay her double according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double.
