Psalm 1:1-3
How blessed is anyone who rejects the advice of the wicked and does not take a stand in the path that sinners tread, nor a seat in company with cynics,2 but who delights in the law of Yahweh and murmurs his law day and night. 3 Such a one is like a tree planted near streams; it bears fruit in season and its leaves never wither, and every project succeeds.

In grassy meadows he lets me lie. By tranquil streams he leads me 3
to restore my spirit. He guides me in paths of saving justice as befits his
name.
4
Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death I should fear no danger, for
you are at my side. Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.
5
You prepare a table for me under the eyes of my enemies; you anoint my head
with oil; my cup brims over.
6
Kindness and faithful love pursue me every day of my life. I make my home in
the house of Yahweh for all time to come.

ever.

Look at them, all falling apart like moth-eaten clothes!

Malachi 3:13-21
“You have said harsh things about me,” says Yahweh. And yet you say, "What have we said against you?"14 You have said, "It is useless to serve God; what is the good of keeping his commands or of walking mournfully before Yahweh Sabaoth? 15 In fact, we now call the proud the happy ones; the evil-doers are the ones who prosper; they put God to the test, yet come to no harm!"

16
Then those who feared Yahweh talked to one another about this, and Yahweh took
note and listened; and a book of remembrance was written in his presence
recording those who feared him and kept his name in mind.17
“On the day when I act, says Yahweh Sabaoth, they will be my most prized
possession, and I shall spare them in the way a man
spares the son who serves him.18 Then once again you will see the
difference between the upright person and the wicked one, between the one who
serves God and the one who does not serve him.”
19
“For look, the Day is coming, glowing like a furnace. All the proud and all the
evil-doers will be the stubble, and the Day, when it comes, will set them
ablaze, says Yahweh Sabaoth, leaving them neither root nor branch. 20
But for you who fear my name, the Sun of justice will rise with healing in his
rays, and you will come out leaping like calves from the stall, 21
and trample on the wicked, who will be like ashes under the soles of your feet
on the day when I act, says Yahweh Sabaoth.”

1 Peter 3:12-15
For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil. 13 Who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, how happy you are! Do not be afraid of anyone, and do not worry. 15 But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you
