35. I once saw a wicked man who was powerful. He was like a strong, healthy tree.
36. But then he was gone. I looked for him, but I could not find him.
37. Be pure and honest. Peace loving people will have many descendants.
38. But those who break the law will be destroyed completely. And their descendants will be forced to leave the land.
39. The Lord saves those who are good. When they have troubles, he is their strength.
