Say ye to the righteous
Language: English
Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him: For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him; For the reward of his hands shall be given him. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, But ye shall cry for sorrow of heart And shall howl for vexation of spirit.
