The one who despises those who are utterly wicked,
    but who honors the one who fears the Lord,
who keeps his word even when it hurts and does not change,
who does not loan his money with interest,
        and who does not take a bribe against those who are innocent.

The one who does these things will stand firm[a] forever.
