Psalms 37:36
34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.
37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.
38 But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
