like chaff, like straw – v2

Those who plunder,
who rape, who pillage,
who attack the people,
the children of God…
 
They will be like chaff, like straw,
gathered for God’s fires,
they will be burned up,
their lives but a breath…
 
Those who stand righteous,
Your people who obey You,
they will be redeemed, exalted,
they will be raised up on high…
 
They will dwell in the heights,
In the high places, the heavens,
their bread will be given to them,
water will not fail them…
 
Those who stand righteous,
those who obey, who love You,
they will walk the streets of gold,
they will have eternal life…
