Psalm 37:14-16
New International Reader's Version
14 Sinners pull out their swords.
They bend their bows.
They want to kill poor and needy people.
They plan to murder those who lead honest lives.
15 But they will be killed by their own swords.
Their own bows will be broken.
16 Those who do what is right may have very little.
But it’s better than the wealth of many sinners.
Psalm 37:14-16
New International Version
14 The wicked draw the sword(A)
and bend the bow(B)
to bring down the poor and needy,(C)
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,(D)
and their bows will be broken.(E)
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth(F) of many wicked;
Psalm 37:14-16
King James Version
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
