So Adonai blessed Job’s latter days more than at his beginning. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.
Adonai knows the days of the blameless— their inheritance endures forever.
For His blessed ones inherit the land. But those He curses will be cut off.
Trust in Adonai and do good. Dwell in the land, feed on faithfulness.
For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Adonai— they will inherit the land.
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather stand at the threshold of the House of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
One who leads the upright astray along an evil path will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good.
