28 Because the Eternal cherishes justice
    and will not abandon those loyal to Him.

He will guard and care for them forever,
    but any child born of evil will be rooted out, cut down, and destroyed.

    and settle there forever.

30 Wisdom fills the mouth of the right-living;
    justice and truth roll from their tongues.
