Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?

It is all one; therefore I have said, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.

Though he fall, he shall not be cast down, for Jehovah upholds his hand.

Observe the perfect and consider the upright one; for the latter time of that man is peace.

For Jehovah will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Thus says Jehovah to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have strengthened in order to subdue nations before him. And I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the gates; and the gates shall not be shut.
