15 We humans do not live forever [SIM];
we are like grass [SIM] that withers and dies.
We are like wild flowers: They bloom for a short while,
16 but then the hot wind blows over them, and they disappear;
no one sees them again.
17 But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever
all those who revere him.
He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
18 he will act that way to all those who obey the agreement he made with them to bless them if they did what he told them to do,
to all those who obey what he has commanded.
