Psalm 37:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ The wicked unsheathe their swords, pull taut their bows;
    the poor and needy are their victims,
    and evil is on the prowl to kill those with integrity, God’s beloved.
¹⁵ But their swords will bend back to pierce their own hearts—
    yes, their bows will snap in two.

¹⁶ The righteous are better off with the little God blessed them with
    than living under the curse of the wealth of the wicked.
