Riches and plenteousnes shalbe in his house: and his righteousnes endureth for euer.
4
There ariseth vp light in the darknes: vnto them that deale vprightly he is merciful, and louing, and righteous.
5
A good man is mercyfull and lendeth: he wyll guyde his wordes with discretion.
6
For he shalbe neuer moued: and the righteous shall be had in an euerlasting remembraunce.
7
He wyll not be afraide of any euyll tidinges: his heart is setled, he beleueth in God.
8
His heart is strengthened, he will not feare: vntyll he seeth [a mischiefe to fall] vpon his enemies.
9
He hath distributed abrode, he hath geuen to the poore: his righteousnes remayneth for euer, his horne shalbe exalted with glory.
10
The vngodly shall see it, and it wyll greeue hym, he wyll gnashe with his teethe and consume away: the desire of the vngodly shall perishe.
