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.
