¹⁷ Until I entered God's sanctuary, And considered their latter end.

¹³ Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

²² It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

² So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

³⁷ Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, For there is a future for the man of peace.

³⁸ As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
