18 If anyone lives a completely good life,
    the Lord takes care of them.
His gifts to them will last for ever.
19 When times of trouble come,
    they will still be safe.
In a time of famine,
    they will have enough to eat.
20 But wicked people will die.
    They are the Lord's enemies.
They will disappear like smoke from a fire that burns them up.
