Psalms 37:34–38 · Berean Standard Bible

34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

36 yet he passed away and was no more; though I searched, he could not be found.

37 Consider the blameless and observe the upright, for posterity awaits the man of peace.

38 But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
