Injustice Will Not Prosper

12 All bribery and injustice will be blotted out,

but good faith will last forever.

13 The wealth of the unjust will dry up like a river,

and crash like a loud clap of thunder in a storm.

14 As a generous person has cause to rejoice,

so lawbreakers will utterly fail.

15 The children of the ungodly put out few branches;

they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.

16 The reeds by any water or river bank

are plucked up before any grass;

17 but kindness is like a garden of blessings,

and almsgiving endures forever.
