when it comes on you like a storm, bringing fierce winds of trouble, and you are in pain and misery.

One last time they will lie down rich, and when they wake up, they will find their wealth gone.

the east wind will sweep them from their homes;

Those who trust in the LORD will possess the land, but the wicked will be driven out.

Soon the wicked will disappear; you may look for them, but you won't find them;

Before they know it, they are cut down like weeds; in his fierce anger God will blow them away while they are still living.

You will put them in slippery places and make them fall to destruction!

They are like a dream that goes away in the morning; when you rouse yourself, O Lord, they disappear.

They are like young plants, just set out and barely rooted. When the LORD sends a wind, they dry up and blow away like straw.

Righteous people will always have security, but the wicked will not survive in the land.

They make loans without charging interest and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent. Whoever does these things will always be secure.

"So then, anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.

The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over, and the wind blew hard against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on rock.

And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.

You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus himself.

In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life.

But the solid foundation that God has laid cannot be shaken; and on it are written these words: "The Lord knows those who are his" and "Those who say that they belong to the Lord must turn away from wrongdoing."
