Psalms 37:12–17
God laughs at the plots of the wicked because He sees their end; their weapons will destroy them, and the Lord will sustain the righteous in their little.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
God laughs at the plots of the wicked because He sees their end; their weapons will destroy them, and the Lord will sustain the righteous in their little.
To provide a perspective of faith-based irony regarding the plots of the wicked, assuring the righteous that ungodly power is self-destructive and that divine sustenance is more valuable than ungodly wealth.
The Meek Inherit the Land as the Wicked Fade
Because the LORD will remove the wicked and give the future to the meek, His people must refuse fretting, trust Him, do good, and wait for His salvation.
