¹⁷ Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.

¹³ O God, in holiness `is' Thy way, Who `is' a great god like God?

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

²² `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

³¹ The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved `it' so, And what do they at its latter end?

¹² Though a sinner is doing evil a hundred `times', and prolonging `himself' for it, surely also I know that there is good to those fearing God, who fear before Him.

¹³ And good is not to the wicked, and he doth not prolong days as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God.

¹³⁰ The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.

²⁴ Thy testimonies also `are' my delight, The men of my counsel!

² So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

³⁷ Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each `is' peace.

³⁸ And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

⁸ For what `is' the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?
