⁷ For in many dreams and in many words there is futility. Rather, ^[a](A)fear God.

¹⁸ It is good that you grasp one thing while not ^[a]letting go of the other; for one who ^(A)fears God comes out with ^[b]both of them.

¹² Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may ^(A)lengthen his life, still I know that it will go ^(B)well for those who fear God, who fear ^[a]Him openly. ¹³ But it will ^(C)not go well for the evil person and he will not lengthen his days like a ^(D)shadow, because he does not fear God.

¹³ The conclusion, when everything has been heard, is: ^(A)fear God and ^(B)keep His commandments, because this applies to ^(C)every person.
