Into the Fire

The days of the blameless are known to the Lord,

and their inheritance will endure forever.

In times of disaster they will not wither;

in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

But the wicked will perish:

The Lord's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields,

they will vanish – vanish like smoke.

The wicked borrow and do not repay,

but the righteous give generously;

those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,

but those he curses will be cut off.

Psalm 37:18-22 (NIV)
