Opening the chapter…
◄Happy are/God is pleased with► those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].
You will be able to earn the money that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.
Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive tree that has many shoots growing up around it [SIM].
Every man who reveres God will be blessed like that.
I wish/hope that God will bless all of you from where he dwells ◄on Zion Hill/in Jerusalem► and that you will see the people of Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!
I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for the people in Israel!
