23 A person’s steps are directed by Yahweh,
    and Yahweh delights in his way.
24 When he falls, he will not be thrown down headfirst

        or his descendants begging for food.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(E)
    or their children begging(F) bread.
