18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,
But he who sows righteousness gets a true reward.
19 He who is steadfast in righteousness will attain to life,
And he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.
20 Those with a crooked heart are an abomination to Yahweh,
But those of a blameless way are His delight.
21 Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the seed of the righteous will escape.
