35I have seen a wicked, ruthless man
flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,
36yet he passed away and was no more;
though I searched, he could not be found.
37Consider the blameless and observe the upright,
for posterity awaits the man of peace.
38But the transgressors will all be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
— Psalm 37:35-38
