16It is good to be righteous/godly even if you do not have many possessions, but it is bad to be wicked, even if you are very wealthy,
17because Yahweh will completely take away the strength of wicked people, but he will ◄sustain/take care of► people who live righteously.
18Every day Yahweh cares about those who have not done any evil things; the things that Yahweh gives them will last forever.
19They will survive when calamities occur; when there are famines, they will still have plenty to eat.
20But wicked people will die; just like the beautiful wild flowers in the fields die under the hot sun and disappear like smoke MET, Yahweh will cause his enemies to suddenly disappear.
