3 Wealth and riches `are' in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.
Length of days `is' in her right hand, In her left `are' wealth and honour.
`In' the house of the righteous `is' abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked -- trouble.
Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.
He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness -- Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it `is' His treasure.
and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God: and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My salvation to all generations.
And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened. `Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here `is' the Christ! or here! ye may not believe; for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.
