19 Bless the Lord God at all times; ask him to guide you along straight paths and to grant success to all your plans and works. Pagan nations lack such guidance, unless the Lord himself who is the source of all good things chooses to grant it. The Lord exalts those he wills or casts them down even to the depths of Hades.

Great wealth is yours if you fear God, avoid every kind of sin, and do what is good in the sight of the Lord, your God.”
