Psalm 37:20-22
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
20 But the wicked perish;
the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures,
they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows, and cannot pay back,
but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the Lord shall possess the land,
but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
Psalm 37:20-22
New King James Version
20 But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But (A)the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22 (B)For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be [a]cut off.
