21 For the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless ones will remain in it. For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
22 And the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and treacherous ones will be plucked out from it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
