5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked,
         And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

6Upon the wicked He will rain snares;
         Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

7For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness;
         The upright will behold His face.

NASB ©1995
