Proverbs 23:18

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.

¹⁸For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

¹⁴so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

²⁰according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

²⁰for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

²¹What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. ²²But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

²⁵“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
