Psalm 37:19

Instruction In Wisdom

¹⁸
The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will continue forever.
¹⁹ 
They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have plenty and be satisfied.
²⁰
But the wicked (ungodly) will perish,
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures and like the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke],
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
