verse 15 Their sword shall enter their own heart, their bows shall broken be, verse 16 The just mans little better is, than wicked's treasury. verse 17 For th' arms of wicked shall be broke, the Lord the just doth stay: verse 18 The Lord doth know-upright mens days, and their lot is for ay.
verse 19 They never shall ashamed be in any time of ill; ⟨p. 98⟩And when the days of famine come, then shall they have their fill. verse 20 But wicked men Jehovah's foes, as lambs fat shall decay: They shall consume, yea, into smoke they shall consume away.

(3) verse 21 The man ungodly borrow doth, and never doth repay: Whereas the just man mercy shows, and freely gives away. verse 22 For such as of him blessed be, the earth inherit shall: And they that of him cursed are, by cutting down shall fall.
