Ps. 37:38 "But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off." - Contrary to the upright, who's end is peace, the end of the transgressors & the wicked is destruction. You must choose, live upright & suffer persecution - temporarily, or follow the wicked & rule - temporarily. In the end the upright will be victorious while the wicked will be defeated. Your choice.
